Overall: 
I think the hook could be a bit more concise, like I'm not sure mentioning the exact date or Kratochvílová is really necessary. But other than this, it's all good. Grnrchst (talk) 12:42, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for your review. The date "on 19 February 2023" could be shortened to "in 2023" which also works with "41-year-old", if you think that would improve it. – Editør (talk) 13:42, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Here are two alternative versions of the hook. – Editør (talk) 13:54, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- ALT1 looks good! Thanks :) --Grnrchst (talk) 14:20, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- Here is an alternative version without the mentioning of Kratochvílová. – Editør (talk) 14:31, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- I suggest we select ALT1 (as well). – Editør (talk) 23:24, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- But ALT3 is also fine with me. – Editør (talk) 23:10, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
