IOC Lifts Russia's Suspension

Publication by EssentiallySports | July 08, 2026 | Edition #619 |

Hey Athletic Fans,
Today, before you call it a day, the International Olympic Committee has taken a call after nearly 3 years, and it’s going to change how Russia participates at the LA Olympics. More on that below, along with more from the figure skating and FIFA worlds.

⚡Why This Matters: The Olympic Committee has lifted a suspension on Russia that would allow athletes to compete for the nation at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The Missing Step in Your Summer Skincare Routine
Summer means more time in the sun, and more opportunity for UV damage to quietly accumulate. UV exposure is the #1 driver of visible skin aging — more than stress, sleep, or genetics. Every unprotected moment adds up, and a single exposure can trigger collagen breakdown for up to 7 days, leading to the fine lines, sagging, and loss of firmness that show up on your skin over time.
Daily SPF is essential. But protection alone doesn't address the damage that UV has already done – that's where the OS-01 Peptide comes in. It’s proven to reverse the visible effects of UV aging, going further than any SPF can on its own. OneSkin's limited-edition summer bundles pair peptide-powered sunscreens with their bestselling OS-01 skincare — building a complete system for keeping skin visibly smooth, firm, resilient, and protected all summer long.

Long jump in an inflated cow dress? Well, that’s surely something you need to watch before signing out for the day.
