TBH, if you get the pole vault bar to wind up like that it should count.

Such a good deep dive into the racket that is "professional" running. I use quotes because if you're an athlete making less than 50-60k and you're paying 15% to an agent I barely think you qualify as a professional in 2024.

Information is out there more than ever!

My “B” team stickers only go to “E” and the host club just entered an “F” team 🤣

“Nassar apparently convinced begrudging leadership at USAG to allow him to conduct a series of blood tests of young gymnasts at his MSU lab.

“When MSU’s committee overseeing human use research caught wind of Nassar’s project, it launched an investigation.” statenews.com/article/2024...
