I found another alt hook potential within the article, that is:

ALT1:" ... that British weightlifter Zoe Smith (pictured) broke 98 national records in 2008?"
ALT2:" ... that in 2008, British weightlifter Zoe Smith (pictured) broke 98 national records across the junior and senior categories?"

The source for both the hooks is The Independent which is the inline citation used in the article. It is also mentioned in The Times and many other newspapers. AmateurHi$torian (talk) 08:53, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
