Coursier making her jump at the Big Hill ski jump on Mount Revelstoke in 1922

... that Isabel Coursier was only 15 years old when she became the first North American to break the world record for women’s ski jumping?

Source: "From Isabel Coursier to Nels Nelsen: Revelstoke's pioneers on a pair of skis". Revelstoke Review., “Isabel Patricia Coursier was born in Revelstoke on March 21, 1906…At the Revelstoke Ski Tournament on February 7, 1922, over a month before her 16th birthday, Isabel participated in the Boy’s Class D Jump and came in third with 108.5 points, and a jump of 84 feet. This made her the women’s world champion ski-jumper.”

"Sliding, Gliding and Soaring: A history of skiing in Revelstoke, British Columbia". Revelstoke Museum & Archives. p. 18. “In 1922, at the age of 16, Isabel Coursier debuted on the Big Hill, jumping with the boys for a distance of 84 feet and setting a world record…In 1923, Coursier was presented with a Gold Medal by the Revelstoke Ski Club in appreciation of the skill and daring displayed by the only lady ski jumper in America.” (Note: Source rounded up her age)

I just realized that I moved the article to the mainspace today (Jan 18) and not yesterday (Jan 17). I guess it’s not too big of a deal, I just mindblanked on when I created the article when submitting this nom. —Pyropylon98 (talk • contribs) 23:47, 18 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

None of the sources seem unreliable to me, I will assume good faith on the Polish one since I cannot read Polish. Quid pro quo is not required as this is the nominator's first DYK. WP:EARWIG finds no copyright violations. Page is new enough and long enough. Hook is definitely interesting. Looks good to me! Di (they-them) (talk) 21:35, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Added an english source that reiterates most of the stuff noted in the polish source, i just find the polish source to be more reliable — Pyropylon98 (talk • contribs) 22:31, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
  - Earwig shows close paraphrasing. SL93 (talk) 19:04, 15 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
    - i did take a lot from one source so it makes some sense that it got flagged. i’ll see what i can remove or change the wording of. — Pyropylon98 (talk • contribs) 22:27, 15 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
