A fact from Aniya Holder appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 August 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Aniya Holder secured a spot at the 2024 Summer Olympics by winning a speed climbing competition, for which she had started training without even knowing that it was an Olympics qualifier?

"Holder secured her place at the 2024 Olympics during the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) African Qualifier in December 2023 [....] When Holder first started training to reach the IFSC African Qualifier, she didn’t realise it was a gateway to the Olympics. She had simply identified a series of competitions, culminating in the IFSC round, that she could use to push herself as an athlete."
ALT1: ... that 2024 Paris OlympianAniya Holder began speed climbing as a safer alternative to bouldering and lead climbing after she broke her knuckles and dislocated her shoulder elbow? Source: https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/sport/other-sport/2024-04-04-mark-etheridge-walls-hold-no-fears-for-young-olympian/"She got into speed climbing in 2021. 'I punched a volume [an extension attached to the climbing wall] and broke all my knuckles,' she says. 'A week after the cast came off I fell from a high boulder and stuck my hand out to avoid hitting my head and ended up dislocating my elbow.' That put her out for five months during which she regained her strength and did rehabilitation work. It was also the end of one part of her climbing career. 'I can’t do the boulder and lead discipline any more, it just hurts too much.' Coach Muller suggested she should try speed climbing."

Comment: This is my first DYK nomination attempt, but I figure you don't know what it's like until you try! Open to feedback on the hook, I accept it might be a bit wordy.

Comment only: Maybe a bit wordy but absolutely perfect for a hook fact! Stunning to not know that you are in the process of qualifying for the Olympics. Schwede6601:01, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Comment only: No pressure, but just a suggestion that this one might work best if it were displayed on or preceding August 5th, as that's the date when Holder will be competing in the women's speed qualification round. SunTunnels (talk) 16:46, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Overall: @SunTunnels: Nice work. The article and the first hook look good. As for the second hook, the source seems to say that she dislocated her elbow, not her shoulder? Is that right?
Comment: @BeanieFan11: Thanks so much for reviewing this. Clearly this is why I cannot be trusted to edit at night. Yes, this should absolutely read elbow, dunno where I got shoulder from. Will adjust it in the article itself later tonight. SunTunnels (talk) 00:38, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
