... that wrestler Vladimir Popov(pictured) initially viewed winning a bronze medal at the Olympics as a "failure"?
Source: Omsk Wrestling Federation - translated quote from the article: "I cleanly put [Gulldén] down in 20 seconds and won the bronze medal. I took it in my hands after the presentation, went and put it in my pocket. I was sour, the medal did not make me happy. Many guys said then: 'It is better to be nobody than to be third.' At that time, there was no joy. But still, it is an Olympic medal. You understand this only years later. At least I got the bronze – and that is a great happiness. But then we regarded it as a failure."
Overall: Long enough, new enough (nominated on last day eligible), and expanded 5-fold (expanded from 298 B to 3430 B). Earwig says 3.8%. Source verified (with Google Translate) and hook information is present on article. I think the hook is interesting. Article is sufficiently sourced.
