... that Tatyana and Hannah McFadden were the only sisters to compete in the same Paralympic final (100m – T54 in London 2012)?

Cursory examination finds two problems. First the article contains only 930 characters of readable prose, DYK requires a minimum of 1500 (see Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines#Supplementary article length rules for additional details on this requirement). Second, the only sentence in the article that is sourced is the one containing the hook fact. The entire article needs to be properly cited (The rule of thumb, as per Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines#D2, is at least one cite per paragraph). --Allen3 ^talk 19:46, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

The more fundamental problem is that the article is not new. So it's not only too short, but it hasn't been expanded five times either. Schwede 66 19:12, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
