Yi Siling

(

... that Yi Siling was both the first person to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics and the first gold medal of the Games?

Comment: Would be nice to air before the Olympics are over, if possible.

No references for the proposed hook: "first person to qualify" is referenced but the sites only discuss the first gold medal, "first gold medal" has no references. It should be easy enough to find sources or revise the hook to include just the gold medal fact. Fulfils all other criteria. violet/riga _^[talk] 00:11, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Please check again. The first listed ref (2) of the relevant sentence reads "The first athlete to qualify for the London Olympics also won the first gold medal Saturday." --ThaddeusB (talk) 05:14, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Indeed it does. Apologies. All ready to go! violet/riga _^[talk] 09:28, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
