Comment: To be honest, I've probably missed out contributors here - this was a real team effort as there were plenty of different editors who came in and just made a couple of tweaks to the article, I'm nominating this on behalf of all their work.
ALT1: ... that 16-year-old Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen won two gold medals and broke two records at the
2012 Summer Olympics? -

Still reviewing 5X expansion, check. 1,500-character minimum, check. Early Life section well-referenced. More to come... --

I have doubts about relevancy of including some swimmer from 800 meter swimming race, which Ye Shiwen did not particapate. Nevertheless,
this proves sufficient expansion if
other comparison may not do. Also, all other passages are well-written and well-referenced, even when a few minor details are not easy (but not hard) to verify, like men's race competition. --

Although I like ALT1 more than original hook, both are fine. I'll leave this official decision to promoter. --

I would strongly recommend ALT1. Ye Shiwen's performance at the London Olympics (two golds, two records) was extraordinary and far more relevant than the comparison with Lochte. It should be noted that the original hook was written before she won the second gold and broke the second record. -

I think the second hook is far catchier from the age point of view - I'm striking my original hook.
