An Olympian has opened up about a car accident that has disrupted their comeback plans, and the update is a sobering one. The road back was already long, and this setback adds another hurdle. We wish them a smooth and steady recovery.

Elsewhere, the NCAA has won a legal case over a fifth year of eligibility for 2022 student-athletes.
