Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see anything about two months in the source. He says it took him five to six months to recuperate. Yoninah (talk) 23:08, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
- The Commonwealth Games happened two months before the Asian Junior Championships. This can be verified from multiple sources. If we need a source to explicitly state that it happened two months ago, then there is this ESPN article which quotes him calling the Asian Junior medal as "a blessing after all the pain and suffering I have undergone in the last two months".

- @Dee03: please add to the article the sources that verify the hook fact. Yoninah (talk) 01:48, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- The ESPN source and the Firstpost source which together verify the hook fact are already present in the article and have been quoted here in the nomination as well. I'm not sure what else needs to be added. Dee03 01:59, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- OK, I tweaked the wording and added the March high jump from the source. Now a reader can count the timeline on his fingers and see how it works out. Restoring tick per epicgenius' review. Yoninah (talk) 20:35, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
