- Sorry, misread the source. Give me a day or so to fix the article and find an alt. Thanks, Matty.007 18:51, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Alt 1: ... that Paralympian Anna Turney was inspired by the 2006 Winter Paralympics, and has competed in the two since? Matty.007 17:00, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
- I can't find the ref for " Anna Turney was inspired by the 2006 Winter Paralympics". Can you double check the refs for the hook? Victuallers (talk) 21:23, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
The Alt 1 hook is good; You may have missed it because the city where the Olympics took place was referred to alternatively as both "Turin" and "Torino" (both are correct). The article said: "Turney decided to get back into sport after being inspired by the 2006 Winter Paralympics in Turin." The cited source says: "Confined to life in a wheelchair, Turney watched the Torino Olympics and resolved to become a Paralympic skier." I've changed the article to say "Torino (Turin)". The hook could say "2010 and 2014" instead of "the two since" if desired. Long enough, new enough, neutral and cited. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 00:28, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
