ALT1:... that British sailor Eilidh McIntyre, who has qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics, is the daughter of a former Olympic gold medallist? Source: Olympic q: [2], [3], Father: [4]
The article is long enough and new enough with no copyright violations. A QPQ has been completed. I would like to approve the original hook, but the only mention of a gold medal in the article is that her father won a gold medal in 1988. I realize that the award that she won in 2019 was a gold medal, but people unfamiliar with the topic might not realize that if it isn't specifically stated. SL93 (talk) 00:18, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
