Vinicius and Tom

A referee retrieves a plush doll of Vinicius thrown by coaches into the ring
- ... that during wrestling at the 2016 Summer Olympics, coaches threw plush dolls of Vinicius, the Olympic mascot, into the ring (pictured) if they wished to challenge a referee's call? Source: AP
- Comment: I've only had three DYK credits, so I think I'm still exempt from QPQ, but I reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Stealing Peaches anyway to get a feel for it (second opinion would be appreciated).
Improved to Good Article status by Mz7 (talk). Self-nominated at 06:02, 29 November 2016 (UTC).
Article promoted to GA status two days before nominated here. Hasn't appeared on DYK before. There's an entire section, "Use of Vinicius in Olympic wrestling events", that backs up the hook, which is interesting, and the section is well sourced. Article is written neutrally. No copyvio, results are skewed by a quote. Good to go. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:27, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
