- Comment: Please save for July 1, Canada Day (exactly 4 weeks and 4 days from now). Eligible per Rule 1d, because it is only scheduled to appear in the "Recent Deaths" section of ITN and not as a bold link.

ALT 0 approved. Although ALT1 is not stated in the article, it does state that the record holds at the time of his death, which was May 29, 2021. One of the sources mentions that the record holds today, and since a winter Olympics is not scheduled until 2022, the record will hold for at least a few months. I imagine that the article doesn't say "current record holder" because of
MOS:DATED so I'm willing to
WP:IAR and approve ALT1.
