... that taekwondo practitioner Alasan Ann was injured by a gunshot four months prior to the Olympic qualification tournament, but recovered in time and won the competition?

The article is newly created and is sourced properly along with the hook. No copyright violations but I do wonder if it's possible (if source exists), to add information on how he got the gunshot wound. Regardless, I think the article is overall good to go. But waiting for QPQ and then once that's done, the hook should be ready go. - Toadboy123 (talk) 14:29, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Toadboy123: QPQ done. As for how he was shot, all the source says is: Alasan Ann was hanging out with friends in Minneapolis when he heard gunshots and screams. Scared for his life, his first instinct was to run, as fast as he could. “Not now, not ever,” the 23-year-old athlete thought to himself. “[We] started running to our car. And while we were running, I got hit in my leg, but I didn’t stop,” he told Olympics.com, his voice trailing off. Is there anything you think I should add from that?

  - All done. GTG now. - Toadboy123 (talk) 17:32, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
