... that in 2017, Brazilian wheelchair racerVanessa Cristina de Souza won a race despite competing the last 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) with a flat tyre? Source: [1] "Durante a prova, seu pneu furou e dificultou a situação da atleta, mas, sem desistir, conseguiu terminar a competição no topo do pódio. "É muita emoção, pela primeira vez fechando com chave de ouro. O percurso molhado atrapalha bastante, e pra piorar chegando no quilômetro 2 meu pneu furou e tive que completar a prova com ele furado mesmo" ("During the race, her tire flat and made it difficult for the athlete, but without giving up, she managed to finish the competition on top of the podium. "It's a lot of emotion, for the first time closing with a golden key. The wet course gets in the way a lot, and to make matters worse arriving at 2 kilometers to go, my tire got flat and I had to complete the race with it really flat,")

Hi Joseph2302, review follows: article created 1 November; article exceeds minimum length and is well written; sources used appear to be reliable for the subject matter; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from the sources; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, AGF on sourcing to Portuguese article though Google translate appears to confirm it (it says "arriving at kilometer 2", but happy to AGF that your translation is more accurate). Just awaiting a QPQ - Dumelow (talk) 06:58, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
