Comment: I'd be happy if this was posted even with out the picture. :D --LauraHale (talk) 05:16, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Alt1: ... that Australian silver medal winning Paralympian Angie Ballard's physical education teacher encouraged her to try wheelchair sports?
Alt2: ... that Australian silver medal winning Paralympian Angie Ballard has two cats named Monkee and Jaguar?

Length and expansion both check out okay (now 3941, previously 718 characters), and the expansion was carried out in the days shortly preceding 13 November. All three hooks are referenced appropriately in the article (refs #3, #5 and #1). Spotchecks reveal no evidence of copyvio or close paraphrasing. The image is appropriately tagged and suitable for the main page. I would err away from ALT2, which I would personally consider as information that shouldn't be in the article, let alone on the main page! Harrias ^talk 20:21, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
