Hey, I will be reviewing this! As usual, well done - this article looks great. I can't see any major issues and earwig shows no copyright violations. Here are my comments:

1.) "China's Tang Qianting was the favourite to win, though Lithuania's Rūta Meilutytė, the US's Lilly King, Italy's Benedetta Pilato and South Africa's Tatjana Smith were also in contention" - Could you please clarify this?

Added "to win medals" on the end. Hope this makes it clearer.

2.) "South Africa's Tatjana Smith won silver at the 2020 Olympics, and she won another silver at the 2023 World Championships." - Can you please clarify what she won silver for?

Changed to "finished second"

3.) "Tang swam the fastest opening 50 metre split of 29.94" - What is " 50 metre split of 29.94"?

Changed to "Tang swam the fastest first 50 metres, touching the wall at the end of the first length in 29.94".

4.) "McSharry's bronze made her" - I think this should be changed to "McSharry's bronze win" or something similar

Changed to "McSharry winning the bronze medal"

5.) "second swimming medallist ever" - Can this be clarified that it means Ireland's second swimming medallist?

Fixed by adding "Irish"

6.) "It was also Ireland's first medal of the Games" - Can it be clarified that it means the 2024 games for all sports? Just to make it clearer for readers

Yes, done.

7.) "At 27 years old, Smith was the oldest medallist ever in this event" - Could this be clarified - does this mean that Smith was the oldest person to ever win a medal in this event in the history of the Olympics?

Yes, clarified to "At 27 years old, Smith became the oldest person to win a medal in this event at the Olympics".

8.) I made some minor changes to the text, let me know if you do not agree with them or feel free to change them :)

They all look good, thanks for doing this.

9.) Back to the "Background" section - Could you briefly expand what happened to Rūta's foot and the recovery? I think the information would be beneficial for readers. It does not need to be much, just specifying that the surgery was for an injury that occurred and the estimated recovery time.

Added to make "She had had a foot surgery in February to fix an injury, which doctors estimated would take around two months to recover from".

10.) Back to heats - "Smith qualified with the fastest time of 1:05.00, while Tang, King, Pilato and Meilutytė also all qualified" - Can you add "among others" to illustrate that others also qualified? I initially thought that it was only those mentioned that qualified but upon seeing the sources I realised I was wrong, so this could be clarified for readers who are unfamiliar (Hoping I have not misunderstood!)

Yes, done.

Spotchecked Sources #3, #5, #9 and #19. Once the above has been addressed, I will pass this article. Please let me know if you have any questions or need help :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 16:47, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive detail in lead

No Olympic event article ever needed to tell the readers how many laps women need to do in a race. Simply saying (100m breastroke) in the title is already self-explanatory enough on what the race is, and how long. Doesn't need excessive details. So I have trimmed that from lede. Also same issue had already been discussed before - with resolution. See Talk:Swimming at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's 100 metre freestyle#top & also I have provided more detailed explanation in User:IP49XX/Why MOS Matters.
