@BeanieFan11, Arconning, and Generalissima: I will use ALT1 but I have to tweak the hook to say olympic runner instead of professional runner.

ALT1a: ... that Majed Abu Maraheel, the first Palestinian Olympian, tended flowers for a living before becoming an Olympic runner?

The article did not say he was a professional. Also in regard to ALT0 since our article says "barefoot from his home in Gaza City to catch a bus" I cannot use the hook that says the barefoot running was specific to training for the 10,000 metre run. Bruxton (talk) 16:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
