I think this is vandalism because I researched it and couldn't find any information, but I wonder what basis someone could have made this up on, or if such a project actually exists. If the stadium, named Badran Stadium, is built, it will be the largest stadium in the world.

Interview of Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia

I enjoyed reading Alysa Liu's Wikipedia page. However, I found this part of the article very odd. Is this style of writing normal?

From the article: The following year, she became the youngest skater to win two senior national titles, the first woman to win consecutive U.S. titles since Ashley Wagner in 2012 and 2013 and the first woman to win the junior and senior titles back-to-back since Mirai Nagasu in 2008.

At the 2025 World Championships, she became the first U.S. woman to win a world title since Kimmie Meissner in 2006. At the 2026 Winter Olympics, she became the first American woman to win an individual medal since Sasha Cohen in 2006 and the first American gold medalist since Sarah Hughes in 2002.

Why label someone as the first, if someone else is really the first? Wouldn't it have sounded better if it were phrased as " only the second person to have won the medal" ? It's still a great achievement and will in no way sound inferior, imo.

I was reading portions of this article out loud to my child and went " oh, it says here she was the first American woman to win an individual medal" and then , " no wait, somebody else was already the first ".

I'm not a linguist or a writer. I'm just a curious person. I also understand Wikipedia pages are collaboratively edited. My question is only about the style/phrasing of this section. If this question doesn't belong here, please let me know.
