Josef Craig, Swimming at the 2012 Summer Paralympics – Men's 400 metre freestyle S7
[edit]- ... that 15-year-old, 2012 British Paralympic swimmer Josef Craig set world records in both the heats and final of the 400 metre freestyle S7 event to win the gold medal?

- Comment. The last 4 words of the hook ("to win the gold medal") seem superfluous. If he hadn't won the events, he wouldn't have set the record. (Note that I have not reviewed the article). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Actually in Paralympic events it's entirely possible to set WRs for your classification and not win and not win as athletes from different disability classsifications sometimes compete together - Basement12 (T.C) 15:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying that. Those last few words evidently aren't tautological (as I had feared), but they could be trimmed if the length of the hook is an issue. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:16, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Complete review needed of both articles in this double hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:06, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
