Man's Arrest Delays Track Champs

Publication by EssentiallySports | August 17, 2026 | Edition #672 |
Hey Athletic Fans,
The weekend at the European Championships took a chaotic turn: a man was arrested after being found in a restricted area of the stadium. That left athletes stranded and brought the entire championship to a standstill.
Also in today's edition: Noah Lyles is opening up about the injury that sent him to a shocking last-place finish.
All that and more in today's edition of Essentially Athletics.


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.

Will the loss of Stephen "Franno" Francis affect Jamaican sprinting? |

Mondo Duplantis delivered again at the European Championships, winning his fourth straight European pole vault title with a championship record gold. Watch below 👇

Eighteen years ago today, Michael Phelps anchored the 4x100m medley relay to a world record 3:29.34. It sealed his eighth gold of the Beijing Games and broke Mark Spitz's 36-year-old record of seven golds at a single Olympics.
It capped a week that hinged on Jason Lezak's legendary comeback anchor leg days earlier, without which the quest would've ended short. Nearly two decades on, no Olympian has come close to matching Phelps’ record.
