I prefer ALT 1 TheNuggeteer (talk) 04:57, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
TheNuggeteer, I've struck ALT1 as there are various problems with it. Both the source and the article say that the "Philippines were said to have sent athletes", hence we cannot say in Wikivoice that the "Philippines sent athletes". Secondly, you don't send athletes "at" the Olympics; you send them "to" the Olympics. Thirdly, when referring to people, you must use "who" and not "that". Fourthly, we do not use contractions in hooks apart from direct quotes. ALT1a fixes all those issues. Schwede66 01:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
