@GRuban and Trillfendi: I'm definitely finding ALT1 to be very interesting, but you need to directly link/cite Kang's suicidal thoughts to Muay Thai in the article. I would also add the preposition "combat sport" before Muay Thai for those unfamiliar with the sport. DYK check says the article has been 5x expanded, it's well-cited, and no copyvio issues.

- Thanks, both done; however I need to rephrase the ALT1 you liked slightly, as re-reading the sources, I can no longer guarantee that her SI SI win was strictly before her suicidal tendencies and the Muay Thai training, they seem to conflict on that detail. Look at ALT2, or the original hook. --GRuban (talk) 13:53, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Yep, good to go with ALT0 and ALT2. Again, I'd prefer if it was phrased as "... that Mia Kang, who won a place in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, became suicidal from a modeling-related eating disorder and credits combat sport Muay Thai for saving her life?"
