Article date, length, and general compliance with policy have been verified. Hook is interesting and verified by inline citation. I do have a slight hesitation about the hook as worded because the reader will naturally assume it related to 2012 (I did anyway), when it actually refers to 2008. Thus I suggest,
- ALT1: that, in 2008, Edwin Ekiring became the first badminton player to compete for Uganda at the Olympics?

- The exact opposite of the issue raised at Template:Did you know nominations/Chloe Magee where I had the year and someone wanted it removed... Either way is fine by me, but I'd tend to agree with ThaddeusB that the year is needed - Basement12 (T.C) 07:28, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
