Track Legend in Tears at Coach's Funeral

In partnership with

Hey Athletic Fans,

Tonight's edition is an emotional one as sprint legend Asafa Powell couldn't hold back tears. The Jamaican icon was saying goodbye to Stephen Francis, the coach who built his career and helped turn Jamaica into a sprinting powerhouse. It's a loss being felt across the sport.

On a different note: Ryan Lochte's ex-wife is speaking out, claiming the cheating that ended their marriage started well before it actually did. More on both stories below.

It's Here: Pique's New Caffeine-Free Afternoon Energy

I quit my afternoon coffee. Not because I wanted to — because I found something better.

You know that wall you hit every day around 2–3 PM? I used to just accept it as the cost of doing anything. Another coffee, a quick spike, then the crash — and somehow I'd still feel dehydrated by dinner.

Then I tried X·E Fountain, Pique's brand-new electrolyte energy drink, and I genuinely wasn't ready for how good "no crash" could feel.

No caffeine jitters. No 4 PM slump. Just clean, steady energy that actually hydrates me instead of draining me. It's built with a premium Vitamin B Complex for natural cellular energy, Magnesium Malate + Taurate for real focus, and a full electrolyte blend that makes it feel like a treat, not a chore.

The cucumber-celery-lime flavor is so crisp and refreshing — it's basically stolen my afternoon coffee slot completely.
