• Hook could be improved. Saying "this track & field athlete competed in these track & field competitions" is not particularly interesting. If you're trying to say that's what interesting is she competed in the olympics 6 years after she first started competing (which I think it not uncommon for some events), the hook could be written to stress that better. rʨanaɢ (talk) 20:50, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
  • I am trying to get across that she started competing professionally as a teenager which led her to the 2008 Olympics. I am pretty sure that most Olympic athletes didn't start competing as a teenager. SL93 (talk) 20:54, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Actually for women's track and field, particularly sprints, I don' think this is at all unusual. rʨanaɢ (talk) 05:26, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Well, I'm out of ideas. Consider this withdrawn. SL93 (talk) 14:38, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
