100 metres at the Olympics

(

... that Jamaica's Merlene Ottey is the only sprinter to have won more than two medals in the 100 metres at the Olympics?

A good, comprehensive, well-written, fact-filled article, neutral and well-sourced. Hook is sourced. Spot checks of the 140 citations show no close paraphrasing concerns. The style is straightforward and factual throughout, with many sources, so copyvio issues seem highly unlikely. The tag saying the introduction may be too long for the overall article length is daft: it is a long article. Maybe someone can scrap the tag - I think as a reviewer I cannot. A quibble is that some paragraphs do not have any citations. Fix that and GTG. Aymatth2 (talk) 01:27, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

"Long intro" tag removed. The lede is five paragraphs, so it will be shortened into four or less without deadline. That should be mattered the least. Let's get this done and over with. --George Ho (talk) 18:16, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
