... that at the 1991 Chicago Marathon, Joseildo da Silva beat Roy Dooney by six seconds in the slowest winning time for 10 years? Source: 6 seconds: [1]
Slowest for 10 years: [2]

Comment: Roy Dooney is new and long enough, and other articles are 5x expanded. Some overlapping content, but all articles have over 1500 characters of unique content

5x expansion confirmed for 1991 Chicago Marathon and Joseildo da Silva. Dooney created 1/16 and is long enough. Articles appear policy compliant, and Earwig detected no issues. Hook is interesting, short enough, accurate and sourced. QPQ requirement satisfied. Cbl62 (talk) 22:12, 17 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
