Both articles new enough, long enough, well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. The hook is catchy, but I don't see the hook fact in the article or the reference, which says he "shifted his role". Do you have another source that says he actually "gave up coaching" for Perrine? Also, the hook fact must appear in the Melissa Perrine article as well, with a citation.- Another question: There are 2 different sentences in the Andy Bor article that talk about when Bor first started skiing with Perrine:
1) He first skied with Perrine at a World Cup event in January 2010 where they finished fourth.
2) He first skied with Perrine in 2009 in competition at the IPC North America Cup in Colorado, where the pair finished second in the Super-G.
- Hooked fact in article: "At the 2006 Winter Paralympics, Bor served as an Australian Assistant Coach. In 2009, following those Games, he shifted his role to serve as Melissa Perrine's guide as Perrine advanced further in the sport."
