Hey Athletic Fans,

Tonight's edition opens with a shocking one — a US swimming champion is facing accusations of killing a security guard, a story that's a long way from anything you'd expect to see in these headlines. Elsewhere, Fred Kerley is stepping in with a proposed solution for the national champion, who has been banned from the LA Olympics.

Details below in tonight's edition of Essentially Athletics.

⚡Why this matters: The former American star was a two-time Maui Interscholastic League champion.



Skincare built by longevity scientists — not marketers

Most skincare addresses what happens after your skin ages: the appearance of wrinkles, loss of visible firmness, and dullness. But four PhD longevity scientists asked a different question: what if you could target the cellular process that causes visible aging in the first place?

Their answer is OS-01, the first peptide scientifically proven to address senescent cells — the damaged "zombie cells" that accumulate with age and accelerate visible skin decline. The result: the first topical clinically validated to address visible skin aging at the source. In a double-blind 12-week clinical study of OS-01 FACE:

  • 100% of users showed improved overall appearance

  • 96% improved visible firmness

  • 87% showed improvement in the appearance of wrinkles

  • Barrier strength improved 15%

This isn't skincare with better marketing. It's skincare with better science. And real results.
