Hey, another great article, well done! Can't see any major issues and Earwig shows no copyright violations, so here are my comments:

1.) "Prior to the event, the world and Olympic records were held by Katinka Hosszú of Hungary" - Could you please specify that it is for this exact race?

Done

2.) "The US' defending Olympic bronze medallist" - Could you please clarify "defending"?

Done

3.) "Japan's Yui Ohashi, the defending Olympic champion in the event" (in Semifinals section) - Could you please clarify this?

Done

4.) "South Africa's Rebecca Meder lowered her own national record with 2:10.67" - Could this please be reworded so that it is clear whether the record was hers or South Africa's and also that she beat the record (in case some readers believe that she was low and somehow made the record a lower average)?

Done both

5.) Can you please clarify "Walsh led the race at the 150 metre mark"?

Done

6.) "After the race Walsh was disqualified for doing an illegal backstroke to breaststroke turn" - Could this be expanded upon slightly? As someone who does not know the rules I had to read the source to understand why she was disqualified (when I read "illegal backstroke" I thought she broke the law! I was so confused)

Changed to "Walsh was disqualified for doing a backstroke to breaststroke turn that was against the rules". Does this make it clearer?

7.) I have done some minor changes for clarity/wording etc, please let me know if they're not okay

Thank you!

Spotchecked Sources #2, #3, #8, #14, #24 and #27. When the following have been addressed I will pass the article. Let me know if you need anything of course! :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:40, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lead trim per MOS:LEDE

If people want to know how to do an actual medley or how big a pool is. They can easily go to the general individual medley page or the Olympic swimming page to find this info. But not in a specific event page where the focus is not in teaching the rules but on the race. Per MOS:LEDE, the lead was revised to focus on a summary, not filler detail which I trimmed. Previous discussion on same issue and consensus is found here: Talk:Swimming at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's 100 metre freestyle#top.
