  • Source: "'This is like Lazarus coming back from the dead,' USA Boxing head coach Billy Walsh said with a laugh." [1]
  • ALT1: ... that Jajaira Gonzalez, 2024 U.S. Olympian in women's lightweight boxing, decided to pick up the sport again after seeing her ex-teammates' posts on social media? Source: 'Jajaira Gonzalez was scrolling through social media at her job in a Virginia kickboxing gym about three years ago when she spotted some of her former USA Boxing teammates traveling the world, competing for medals and generally living their best lives. The Instagram post hit Gonzalez like a stiff jab, snapping her out of a quarter-life slumber. “They were in the water in Spain, and I was suddenly like, ‘I should be there,’” she said.' [2]

Pronunciation

[edit]

The Spanish pronunciation [ɟʝaˈxajɾa] is very unexpected. After all, in Spanish, whose spelling is fairly regular, ⟨j⟩ is consistently pronounced as /x ~ h/ otherwise. Only ⟨y⟩ and (in most accents) ⟨ll⟩ are pronounced as /j/. So either you'd expect her name to be spelled as **Yajaira, or pronounced beginning in /x/ to match the spelling. Does anyone know the origin of her name? --Florian Blaschke (talk) 22:33, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image caption

[edit]

User:HapHaxion removed the part of the image caption that explains why she is in uniform: she was an Army PFC -Private first class. I think those two words are worthwhile, otherwise the reason for her appearance in the uniform is not clear. This is not standard clothing or just a choice of costume. --GRuban (talk) 02:14, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will note that four lines down in the infobox her military career is detailed for several lines. In my view that’s enough to make a longer caption redundant, but I don’t have particularly strong opinions about it. SunTunnels (talk) 04:02, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aha; I missed that. Thank you, that should suffice then. --GRuban (talk) 19:13, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
