Hey Athletic Fans,
Before we get into today’s Olympics updates, we wanted to share something with you.
As you may have noticed, we’ve refreshed our look, right in time for the Kentucky Derby 2026! Over the past few months, Essentially Athletics, along with the wider EssentiallySports family, have been working on something new. The idea was simple: keep the soul of our classic sports coverage (that you love), while giving it a cleaner, fresher feel.
And now, it’s here.
You’ll start to notice it across everything we do, from this newsletter to our reports and social platforms. Whether you’re reading us here, scrolling through Instagram, watching on YouTube, or catching updates on X, it’s all part of the same refresh.
We’d love your feedback on the new look, so we can keep improving and make this even better for you.
Now onto the good stuff. A Kentucky Derby horse caused chaos pre-race, throwing off its jockey, while an Olympian is pushing back against a doping ban. Plenty of big updates coming in from the Olympic world today.
Write docs 4x faster. Without hating every second.
Nobody became a developer to write documentation. But the docs still need to get written — PRDs, README updates, architecture decisions, onboarding guides.
Wispr Flow lets you talk through it instead. Speak naturally about what the code does, how it works, and why you built it that way. Flow formats everything into clean, professional text you can paste into Notion, Confluence, or GitHub.
Used by engineering teams at OpenAI, Vercel, and Clay. 89% of messages sent with zero edits. Works system-wide on Mac, Windows, and iPhone.
