(

... that 2012 shooting Olympian Hayley Chapman is one half of the first Australian father/daughter pair to compete at the same Olympics?

QPQ completed; article length, newness & sourcing OK; hook length good and hook itself is interesting. Only slight concern is the tense used in the article (E.g., "As a twenty-year-old, she competed alongside her father in London") which appears to be incorrect as of this review. (London 2012 shooting starts in a couple of weeks...) Unless I'm unaware of some guideline specific to athletes in this manner...? Which I sure wouldn't have read! Otherwise, good to go!

The problem is that she will but Wikipedia doesn't like things being written in future tense. : / Hence, not sure how to deal with that. I've been opting to write in past tense to be compliant with that. --LauraHale (talk) 19:45, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, I can see the problems with writing in the future-tense but I've just been either monitoring these or flagging it by using the {{As of}} or something similar. As it is it seems a little misleading... (E.g., What if one of them pulls out?) Nik thestoned 08:29, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that 2012 shooting Olympian Hayley Chapman will be one half of the first Australian father/daughter pair to compete at the same Olympics?

Proposed alt. Changed text to put it into future tense. Chances of them pulling out of the competition is extremely rare, but can use future tense if it makes it easier/more accurate. --LauraHale (talk) 08:36, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Good to go (with ALT1!) Nik thestoned 08:38, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
