• This article is new enough and long enough. I am only approving ALT2 which has the hook facts cited inline. All the others hooks are ineligible because they use the word "viral" which is not even mentioned in the article, and TikTok is only mentioned in passing. If you prefer one of these hooks, you will need to adjust the article, and by the way, how does a professional swimmer make his living? The article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. No QPQ needed for this fourth DYK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:47, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
