Track Olympic Champion Finishes 8th

Hair Dye Fixes the Gray. It Doesn't Fix the Roots

Hair dye solves the gray you can see. It doesn't touch the reason it's happening. That's why the roots come back, the color looks painted, and the routine never ends. You're not fixing the problem — you're managing the symptom every few weeks. Particle Anti-Gray Serum works differently. It targets the root cause of graying — restoring your natural pigment gradually, from the inside out. Hair and beard. No dye, no smell, no roots giving it away. Results that look like yours because they are. Five seconds a day. Thirty-day money-back guarantee if you don't see a difference. Over a million men trust Particle.

Start Reversing Gray Risk-Free

Nadia Battocletti proves her range knows no limits, kicking clear in the final 250m to claim the Italian 1500m record in Bellinzona, completing a sweep of every national middle-distance mark on the track. Watch below 👇

On this day in 1972, Mark Spitz completes the butterfly double in Munich, blitzing the 100m final in a world-record 54.27 to add a fourth gold to his tally. He does it just three days after winning the 200m in an equally record-breaking 2:00.70.

Canada's Bruce Robertson takes silver, more than a second adrift. It's redemption in full for a swimmer who finished dead last in this very event four years earlier in Mexico City — Spitz goes on to win seven golds at these Games, all in world-record time, a haul that stands untouched for 36 years.
