General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Hook is interesting, however I'm not entirely certain both are long enough. While both are about ~1,700 characters, the whole paragraph Both of them would first compete in the men's 30 kilometre classical event. There, Ricardo would place 83rd out of the 87 competitors that completed the race. Their next and last event would be the men's 15 kilometre classical event. There, Ricardo would place 81st out of the 85 competitors that completed the race, placing just behind his brother (~400 characters) is copied in both. According to WP:DYKG: Text that is not original does not count, including text copied from the public domain and from other Wikipedia articles. – which would mean the aforementioned paragraph would not count for one of them, thus leaving one short of the length requirement. Thoughts? Is there anything else to add to either subject? @Arconning: BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:11, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
