### Lead
Think it would help to add the country Kaneko and May represented for consistency in the lead
Added. Harrias talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


### Background
"though there was significant opposition" - from whom?
A bit of everyone; I'm not sure how much detail to go into here, given that the opposition was to its inclusion in the Olympics, rather than the World Championships. Essentially, the organisers of the Olympics, the "Soviet bloc", and you know, men. Harrias talk 08:26, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
"announced that it would be added to the program" - should the word in bold be programme instead?
Oops. Harrias talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
"Press in the United States rated Julie Brown" - How about amending the text in bold to The American press?
Changed as suggested. Harrias talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
"Amby Burfoot said that despite the fact Waitz had beaten Brown in their previous meetings" - how many previous meetings?
The source just says "several". Harrias talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
Wikilink Amby Burfoot
Linked. Harrias talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


### Summary
Ireland should be wikilinked to the Republic of Ireland article, not to the article discussing the whole Island of Ireland
It shouldn't be linked at all. Removed. Harrias talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
"Two miles later," - what about changing his text to say Two miles (3.2 km) for consistency?
Yes, definitely. Harrias talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
"as there weren't men" - were not; no contractions please per MOS:CONTRACTION
Eugh, it's been a while since I've made that mistake. Fixed. Harrias talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)


### References
Wikilink Amby Burfoot in Reference 7 and The Hartford Courant
Wikilink The Boston Globe in Reference 8

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to respond/query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 06:53, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

@MWright96: Thanks for the review. A few rookie errors in there; with the GA queue getting a bit longer again, I must admit to throwing this onto the nominations pile before completing my final read-through. Anyway, hopefully all resolved now. Harrias talk 08:22, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
@Harrias: Now promoting to GA class. MWright96 (talk) 08:53, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
