Glasgow Herald? edit

Why does the lead paragraph say, "Contemporaneous reports on the event were given in the Glasgow Herald"? I suspect that the Glasgow Herald is mentioned because it's (a) an English-language newspaper and (b) available for viewing on Google News. I would have expected that every major European newspaper with significant sports coverage would have provided contemporaneous reports. The Glasgow Herald articles can be cited as references in this article, but presenting it as though its coverage was the most important newspaper coverage of the championships seems to be an example of FUTON bias (full text on the net). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:46, 9 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
