... that ballerina Tina Pereira won a competition even though she was chosen to replace an indisposed dancer, and her partner got seriously injured mid-performance? Source: "She turned a pas de deux into a solo, and then danced an unrehearsed duet with an ad hoc partner, to win the prize for best female dancer at the Seventh International Competition for the prestigious Erik Bruhn Prize last weekend... When partner Keiichi Hirano injured himself by snapping his Achilles tendon, Pereira completed the dance on her own, improvising most of it along the way... She was a replacement Bruhn competitor, when, just two weeks before the contest, Bridgett Zehr was injured." ([1])
Hi Corachow, review follows: article created 22 June; article exceeds minimum length, is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I found no problems with any overly close paraphrasing from the sources listed; hook is fascinating, mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited; just awaiting a QPQ on this - Dumelow (talk) 05:58, 26 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
