New enough and long enough (5x expansion). QPQ done. Would prefer a better source than Olympedia, as its status as a RS has been questioned at Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_335#Olympedia. Hook is interesting enough and otherwise well-cited. All paragraphs well-cited. NPOV observed. Earwig etc found no close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. Lead and body article says he died at 85, but infobox has 84. Edwardx (talk) 15:08, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edwardx I added a better offline source citation into the article for the Olympics competition. I fixed the 85 issue; the obit said 85th year, which I misinterpreted as 85 y.o. I changed it to 84 accordingly. Thank you for the review.4meter4 (talk) 15:28, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, 4meter4. AGF on the offline source, although Olympedia confirms it. All good. Edwardx (talk) 00:20, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
