- Comment: Not 100% if tires should be changed to tyres per Lao / Singaporean spelling. If it does, please let me know. :)
Improved to Good Article status by MrLinkinPark333 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:14, 15 February 2021 (UTC).
MrLinkinPark333: Article has passed GA, hook is verified. Article is long enough, reasonably well written and referenced (to reliable sources), neutral. Hook is interesting, and I think either tires or tyres is fine. No copyvio. I wonder if it should be phrased as "runners training to represent Laos at the 2012 Summer Olympics"? Either way, good to go. Nice work.Eddie891 Talk Work 16:35, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
