AFAIK, she did not grow up in Brentwood; if I'm wrong, a citation would be helpful. Rjm at sleepers 07:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
the article cited (jamie jackson in the observer sport monthly) gives fatimas father as a greek cypriot. and it does not support the claim that her (biological) mother had suggested fatima live with the whitbread family. i have therefore made the appropriate changes to the entry.

There is a section of miscellaneous information within the article. I have taken the liberty of highlighting that section for clean up. Dean Sharpe ( talk) 22:47, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

The Rambling Man (
Keep wearing the mask...) 16:43, 11 July 2022 (UTC)In the section on the 1986 European Championships it says that Whitbread produced a throw of 73.68 m in the fifth round which was "the second-longest throw of all time by a woman, at that point". However, right before that statement it says she broke the javelin world record in the qualifying round with a throw of 77.44 m "more than 2 m further than the record set by Petra Felke of East Germany the previous year". So how could 73.68 m be the second-longest throw of all time by a woman? It looks like it was the fourth-longest at best:
