Illegal Car Runs Over Athlete

Hey Athletic Fans,
Today's edition starts with a heavy heart as a 19-year-old athlete has died after a car illegally entered the race course during competition. Our thoughts are with their family, friends, and teammates tonight.
On a lighter note: Michael Phelps is backing Canadian record-breaker Summer McIntosh over the Americans. It adds fuel to the "next great one" comparisons already trailing her at the Pan Pacific Championships.
More on both stories below.
Skincare built by longevity scientists — not marketers
Most skincare addresses what happens after your skin ages: the appearance of wrinkles, loss of visible firmness, and dullness. But four PhD longevity scientists asked a different question: what if you could target the cellular process that causes visible aging in the first place?
Their answer is OS-01, the first peptide scientifically proven to address senescent cells — the damaged "zombie cells" that accumulate with age and accelerate visible skin decline. The result: the first topical clinically validated to address visible skin aging at the source. In a double-blind 12-week clinical study of OS-01 FACE:
100% of users showed improved overall appearance
96% improved visible firmness
87% showed improvement in the appearance of wrinkles
Barrier strength improved 15%
This isn't skincare with better marketing. It's skincare with better science. And real results.

His Racers Track Club has since produced national champions, world champions, and world record holders. Happy birthday to a true icon of the sport.
