Olympic Champion’s Fiancé Hit by Car

Publication by EssentiallySports | October 09, 2026 | Edition #760 |
Hey Athletic Fans,
Days before her wedding, an Olympic champion got the kind of call nobody wants. Her fiancé had been hit by a car while out training, and she’s pointing to one small piece of gear as the reason things didn’t end far worse.
Elsewhere, an Olympic champion's coach weighs in on her head-turning Nike speed suit, and he has plenty to say about the nerve it takes to wear it.
All that and more in today’s edition of Essentially Athletics.
