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.
