... that spearfishing at the Micronesian Games in 2014 was controversial because a fish that was caught was mutilated by a shark?

QPQ needed @Sahaib:. Also, assuming "websites.mygameday.app" is reliable, proposing ALT1: ... that a shark cost a competitor a silver medal in the spearfishing event at the 2014 Micronesian Games?--Laun chba ller 19:05, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Launchballer: QPQ done, also source appears to be reliable as it cites Alana Christensen of "United Youth Media" and has a picture. Sahaib (talk) 19:20, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

GameDay is a host not a publisher. The publisher "United Youth Media" is a non-profit educational organization from Pohnpei that publishes articles written by primary school students. The event's official results and the student article are enough to support that Shmull lost the medal because of the shark but not enough for subjective evaluations like "controversial".
