Will do a QPQ for this later today. Apologies for lateness of the QPQ- have been away. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:27, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Struck ALT3, as she's no longer competing: [5]. Joseph2302 (talk) 06:08, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New enough and long enough. QPQ present. No copyvio issues. Hook facts check out (ALT2 to https://athleticsweekly.com/featured/london-marathon-assembles-fearsome-fields-for-mens-race-1039958176/ ). Question for @Joseph2302: in re: ALT1: are there prizing figures in pounds, or do the organizers denominate prizes in USD? October 2 date is OK. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:59, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For some reason, all the prize money for London Marathon gets quoted in US dollars (I presume they pay the prizes in dollars not pounds). Joseph2302 (talk) 05:58, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
