... that 2012 Australian rhythmic gymnastics Olympian Janine Murray (pictured) had difficulties getting to school while growing up in Zimbabwe because of petrol shortages?

I had trouble getting to school sometimes as well whenever there was a traffic jam. The fact that she is the first Western Australian to compete in Olympic rhythmic gymnastics, or that she was one of the first two Australians selected for the 2012 games are both more notable and interesting, IMO.

Traffic jam =/= Petrol shortage. I'm not sure how traffic jams where you live are comparable to national food and petrol shortages? Also, growing up in Zimbabwe but ending up an Australian Olympian. That for me was more interesting. If it takes an alt hook to get it passed, I'm willing to accept one. --LauraHale (talk) 11:26, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

This looks OK, but the source for the hook doesn't support it (it only provides a basic personal profile). Nick-D (talk) 01:00, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Added another source for the article for hooked fact. Source says: "She said life in Zimbabwe was all she knew as a child with constant shortages of basic foods and petrol, which made getting to school hard." --LauraHale (talk) 01:58, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Excellent. This is good to go. Nick-D (talk) 02:25, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
