Hey Athletic Fans,
We have some devastating news to begin this edition of the newsletter: a runner has died after collapsing during a half marathon, despite emergency medical efforts on the course. Our thoughts are with his family and everyone who witnessed it.
In other news, Russian gymnasts have received a final decision on their competing status ahead of the World Championships, closing the book on a question that's lingered for years.
All that and more in today’s edition of Essentially Athletics.

Do you think Lionel Messi's last match should have more coverage in America? |
Remco Evenepoel completed one of cycling's rarest collections at the European Championships, out-sprinting Giulio Ciccone in a photo finish to become the first rider in history to win all eight elite road and time-trial titles available to him — Olympic, World, European, and Belgian National, each one doubled.

The nine-time Olympic champion is now the head coach of the University of Houston’s track and field programme, returning to the school where he began his collegiate career.
Lewis took over the programme in 2022 and continues to coach sprinters and jumpers while helping develop the next generation of American athletes. He’s set to enter his 14th season at the University of Houston and fourth as head coach.
Lewis remains involved in athletics through coaching, public appearances and athlete mentorship.
The former sprinter and long jumper won nine Olympic gold medals between 1984 and 1996 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest track and field athletes in history.
