@LavaBaron:: The article itself is in fine shape (though has since been moved to a new title so I'd advise changing the link to match that), and is fine to be featured. But the hook seems to imply the Olympic team was of US origin, when the article specifies they were "indigenous", so that might bear rephrasing to imply the organisation, rather than the members of the rifle team, was American. Perhaps even dropping the "U.S." would signify that they were an occupational force without implying the people themselves were foreign? GRAPPLE X 14:40, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
