... that the Australian rugby sevens player Dietrich Roache kept the Australian national sprint champion out of the Australian Olympic team with his speed? Source: Adelaide Now
Article is new enough, long enough, referenced adequately and shows no obvious sign of copyvio. Hook is interesting, and short enough and cited, but interestingly the source adds that Trae was a "national sprint champion" so I wonder if "sprinter" could be beefed up to that? QPQ is ongoing but veteran editors so no reason to think that won't complete suitably. Not going to hold this promotion up but just have a little think about the suggestion, clearly not mandated.
