Everything except the citation for the hook looks good. The link mentions Thuraya Alzaabi participated in certain events in 2008, but doesnt tell anything about she being the first female. Suraj T 12:26, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Actually, the IPC records source does tell us that she was the first woman to represent the UAE at the Paralympic Games. It gives you the list of all Emiratis to have competed at the Paralympics; she's the first (and so far only) woman. Aridd (talk) 11:31, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Aridd is right. Tick based on above review by Surajt. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:42, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
