Looks like the .ve internet is hidden again, can anyone with access check if this says all the athletes (or just the medalists) are gifted cars, thanks. Kingsif (talk) 23:56, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Aseguran que el Gobierno obsequió carros a atletas olímpicos Venezuela se ubicó en la posición 46 del medallero de Tokio con el oro de Rojas, el cuarto de su historia, y las platas de Mayora, Vallenilla y Dhers. Sumó además 6 diplomas olímpicos. El gobierno de Nicolás Maduro obsequió carros a los 43 atletas venezolanos que viajaron a Tokio, Japón, para participar en los Juegos Olímpicos. La entrega se hizo el martes, cuando regresaron al país, luego de un acto de recibimiento en el Palacio de Miraflores, en Caracas. El periodista deportivo Juan José Sayago dijo en su cuenta de Twitter que se estima que las medallas de plata sean pagadas en entre 50.000 y 75.000 dólares. El país logró conseguir en Tokio 1 medalla de oro y 3 de plata. Los deportistas llegaron al aeropuerto internacional de Maiquetía e hicieron un recorrido en un autobús descubierto, adornado con la Bandera y globos de los colores patrios, hasta Caracas, donde fueron homenajeados por Maduro, tal y como reseñó El Nacional web. “Quiero felicitar a los medallistas, a las medallistas, a los que obtuvieron diploma olímpico, pero quiero felicitar a todos los 43 atletas por igual”, dijo durante una alocución transmitida por Venezolana de Televisión y plataformas digitales. Maduro condecoró a Julio Mayora y Keydomar Vallenilla, quienes ganaron medallas de plata en halterofilia en las categorías de los 73 y 96 kilogramos, respectivamente. La campeona olímpica Yulimar Rojas, que rompió el récord mundial en salto triple, no viajó con la delegación porque disputa la Liga de Diamante en Suiza. Tampoco viajó Daniel Dhers, que ganó plata en la categoría BMX estilo libre. Venezuela se ubicó en la posición 46 del medallero de Tokio con el oro de Rojas, el cuarto de su historia, y las platas de Mayora, Vallenilla y Dhers. Sumó además 6 diplomas olímpicos.
Yeah, I don't know if it's GDPR or if occasionally Venezuelan websites decide to hide from the world. It doesn't reveal much new, but it sources the diplomas and some other basic stuff. Glad to see the fascination with the value of the medals continues. Kingsif (talk) 14:00, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
CANTV usually blocks non-state outlets intermittently, but it should affect access from abroad. In any case, if it happens again, reading through Web Archive should be a good alternative. --NoonIcarus (talk) 22:36, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: It might have hit the expansion deadline yesterday, I'm not sure if DYK uses UTC. Feel free to just review the hooks you find most interesting. Various relevant images throughout the article. Note that ALT13 world record fact has appeared in ITN (not the article, but the record as news). Note that there is an approved DYK hook already mentioning Rojas' relationship with her sister, which might be too related to ALT14 (and alternative could only mention Limardo).
Comment only: 22 Alt hooks? Do you think a reviewer is going to check all of them for citations etc? I suggest you choose two or three? Victuallers (talk) 16:47, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Article's got a pretty big scope, didn't want to bury the lead/assume what I find most interesting would appeal to everyone, so thought I'd let a reviewer have an opinion, too. I assumed the reviewer would pick the hooks they find most interesting and check those only, maybe I'll add that to the nom comment next time. Kingsif (talk) 11:23, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You might also want to remove poor quality photos like Julio Mayora 2019 Pachamama 02.png that will never make it to the main page. Schwede6605:08, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: It looks like 5x expansion began a little over a week before nomination, but it's close enough. qpq is done, no copyvio either (looks like mostly quotes and false positives on Earwig). The article is long enough and sourced. I'm not going through all 22 hooks (although I'm sure there's other good ones). I verified the following hooks as cited and interesting: ALT0, ALT2, ALT4, ALT5, ALT6 and ALT7. @Kingsif: Amazing work on this page and this nom! I can't wait to see which hook hits the front page.
