Comment: I chose to order the boldlinked articles from smaller to bigger region (European, world) instead of earlier to later event (world, European), because this made more sense to me reading the hook, but this can obviously be switched if preferred.

Pulled per WT:DYK discussion to work on a better hook. RoySmith (talk) 16:14, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Editør: Can you propose some ALT hooks, or should this nomination be closed as unsuccessful? Z1720 (talk) 15:16, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot come up with a combined hook, so I will try separate hooks.

Here are two alternative hooks for 2024 European Athletics Championships – Women's 4 × 400 metres relay. – Editør (talk) 16:58, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Women's 4 × 400 m relay final

ALT1 ... that in 2024, the Dutch women's team was the first to successfully defend (final pictured) the European women's 4 × 400 metres relay title since 2002? (Source previous wins: Statistics Handbook, source #2 in the article; source win in 2024: Results Book, source #1 in the article)
ALT2 ... that sprinter Femke Bol (pictured in the final) thought it was "super super super cool" that the Dutch women's 4 × 400 metres relay team successfully defended their European title? (Source: NOS, a Dutch-language article with video, source #13 in the article)

And here is an alternative hook for 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships – Women's 4 × 400 metres relay. – Editør (talk) 17:17, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cathelijn Peeters, Lieke Klaver, Femke Bol, and Lisanne de Witte

ALT3 ... that the Dutch women's 4 × 400 metres relay team (pictured) won their first world indoor title in 2024? (Source for previous wins: source #3 in the article; source for win: source #2 in the article)

Please also see the nomination Template:Did you know nominations/2023 European Athletics Indoor Championships – Women's 4 × 400 metres relay with alt hooks where this 2024 event is combined with others from 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2025. – Editør (talk) 19:28, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Now that 2024 European Athletics Championships – Women's 4 × 400 metres relay is used in a five-article hook, that only leaves the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships – Women's 4 × 400 metres relay to get a hook approved. Below is another option for this article. – Editør (talk) 15:41, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ALT4 ... that the relay teams of five countries set seven national records during the women's 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships (winners pictured)?

ALT4 seems to check out between refs 1, 2, and 8, so let's roll.--Laun chba ller 00:15, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
