QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice AFD rescue. The article looks good, but the hook doesn't appear to be explicitly mentioned in the article (it isn't mentioned that he was a teenager when he started competing in horse riding nor is it stated that he was in his 40s when he competed at the Olympics). I think it will need to be specified in the article in order for it to work as a hook. This will also have to wait till the AFD finishes. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:34, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
