The Alt hook is cited and is fine. However, the original is catchier but I can't find the cited statement in the article to say that eleven times was a record. Also, the statement about disabled sports appearing appears to be uncited. They're not big issues, so I'm sure they can be easily rectified. Miyagawa (talk) 15:47, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

I don't think there's any direct source; not even in Italian. I found this fact here and then verified with this source. It's almost impossible to find accurate (and reliable) sources for an event held in any non-English (or non-Commonwealth) country (Olympics being exception of course!). A citation is provided for disables sports statement. — Bill william compton^Talk 05:18, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Happy to accept the PDF as the source for the record hook. This one is good to go. Miyagawa (talk) 15:35, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
