Hey Athletic Fans,

We have some heartbreaking news to begin this edition. A US track Olympian has been hit with a stage four cancer diagnosis, and it follows surgery. It is a hard update to take in, and one that has already put the sport’s thoughts firmly with them. Their next steps are now the focus, and we are sending our best wishes.

Elsewhere, Amber Glenn is getting real about the biggest change she has faced in going from Olympic team gold to the DWTS stage. It is a very different world from the one she knows, and she has plenty to say about it.

All that and more in today’s edition of Essentially Athletics.
