Aya Girard de Langlade Mpali
- ... that one of the first women to qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics and a flagbearer at the Games, Aya Mpali, Gabon's only female Olympic swimmer, was motivated to take up the sport competitively after her parents drowned? Source: L'Union interview (French), 2020 Tokyo Olympics
- ALT1:... that Gabon's Olympic flagbearer, Aya Mpali was motivated to take up swimming competitively after her parents drowned? Source: L'Union interview (French), 2020 Tokyo Olympics
- ALT2:... that Gabon's Olympic flagbearer, Aya Mpali, who competed at swimming after her parents drowned, plans to take her Tokyo experience on to the 2024 Olympics? Source: L'Union interview (French), 2020 Tokyo Olympics

- Comment: There's no mention of/source for being Gabon's only female Olympic swimmer but there are sources saying that Maël Ambonguilat (male) was Gabon's first Olympic swimmer in 2016,([1]) and that the Mpali siblings (Aya and her brother) are the only 2020 Gabonese swimmers([2]). The hook may be "overloaded", so can pick any of the many interesting facts about this barely-17-year-old!

- Olympic Nice!, Alt1 is less loaded and I think gets the main hooky aspects of her story Victuallers (talk) 08:04, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
It was too short and not sure about ref as it was repeating another source explicitly... so I added another. As you note the original hook was overloaded so I have used that to create an abridged version. Hopefully this can make it for the 30th @Schwede66: but if not I suggest Alt2 (approval required). Its neutral, I can see no close paraphrasing. QPQ done. GTG. Victuallers (talk) 09:26, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
