• ... that Olympic wrestler Gaku Akazawa also runs a popular massage parlor?

• Source: Japan News ("His many experiences with injuries prompted an interest in physical care, and he opened a Japanese-style massage parlor using self-taught techniques. It became so popular that it was constantly filled with reservations.")

• ALT1: ... that wrestler Gaku Akazawa qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics after having been unsuccessful in qualifying for the 2012, 2016, and 2020 Olympics? Source: same ("he constantly battled injuries that led to surgery on both shoulders and derailed his bid to make the 2012 London Olympics ... he made the bold decision to venture by himself to Russia to hone his skills in the hotbed of wrestling. But he still came up short in qualifying for the next Olympics ... He was unable to be nationalized in time for the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, but gaining Samoa citizenship in December last year made him eligible for Paris.")

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Overall: Created 5 days before nom and is 1651 B as of now. Prefer ALT0. @BeanieFan11: address both issues and you're good to go. ミラP@Miraclepine 04:43, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: Please address the above.--Launchballer 18:48, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

@Miraclepine: Would adding ref 5 to 'born in Tokyo' resolve the issue? BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:52, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: Yes, that's all that's needed before I can give this the green light. ミラP@Miraclepine 19:56, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

@Miraclepine: Done. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:47, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

@BeanieFan11: So with that, ALT0 over ALT1. ミラP@Miraclepine 00:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
