Vance is truly the embodiment of the American dream, which is that if you're enough of an unprincipled bootlicking scumbag there are no heights to which you cannot rise
Melissa S. Kearney@kearney_melissa
Whatever one thinks of Vance, his commentary, or his policy positions, for those of us who love a good upward mobility story & were raised to believe in the promise of America, the fact that the kid in this book will soon be sworn in as US Vice President really is incredible.

@jgault13 Between this and the Sydney debacle I feel like Grand Slam is successfully dismantling the DL

Grant Holloway, OLY@Flaamingoo_
I will not be participating in the Brussels Diamond League Final due to a failure to reach agreements on the terms of my participation between my team and the meeting directors of the Diamond League. Shame that they doing athletes like that.. #BrusselsDL #NeverCompeteForLess

This is a fun profile in the Sunday Times gets a little more personal than some of the others.
It also means I'm now Officially A New Yorker since I got my picture taken next to a hot dog cart.

@fast_women I feel like it’s the coaches and tactics as well, the selections themselves weren’t necessarily the problem or only problem

Not a lot of athletes have their own song played after they win a gold medal

@TheRealMerb New line in your GS track contracts that they have to do sideline reporting duty on their off day?
English
I don’t think anyone could have possibly predicted how fun it is to have Grant do the sideline reporting

Back with another edition of crunching the World Rankings to determine who made the U.S. Olympic team…
Men’s 5000m edition
• Parker Wolfe finishes third in a personal best of 13:10.75 — does not have the Olympic standard. Will have to try and get in on the World Ranking. The entry point is No. 42. With this performance, Wolfe moves up to a 1200-point average, which puts him just ahead of Australia’s Jack Rayner at No. 46. He would need a few people to scratch to get in.
To my knowledge, South Africa’s Adriaan Wildschutt is only doing the 10,00 at the Olympics. That’s one.
New Zealand’s George Beamish is only doing the steeplechase at the Games. That’s two.
USA’s Nico Young and Cooper Teare would come out from ahead of him in the rankings. That’s four.
I’m not sure if Spain’s Adel Mechaal will double with the 1500m and 5000m. He did at the European Championships. Haven’t poured over any other national championship results.
I think this is too close to call right now. Will standby for any more info or clarity.
• Graham Blanks has the Olympic standard and finished fourth in a season’s best of 13:12.61.

@ChrisChavez Do they think this article garners sympathy? It totally erases it for me

“Mu’s team filed a protest late Monday night. Kersee says that the track spike marks on her leg show that she was hit by the runner behind her, not the other way around. Therefore, they argued that she was impeded, and the contact wasn’t incidental. Mu’s team says all eight angles of NBC’s footage miss the most critical viewpoint: from the outside of the track, which would show who caused the contact. USATF officials also reviewed the footage but denied the appeal on Tuesday morning. No details were released publicly. On Wednesday, Mu’s reps appealed the decision, but within an hour, they were denied again.
Mu’s team is advocating for what they interpret from the rule book: that she is entitled for the final to be rerun.”
Protests and appeals have been denied by USATF. Unfortunately, one of our biggest stars will be watching Paris from home but this is the Trials.

New @SInow story on Athing Mu, her crash, appeals, remaining options, the torn hamstring she competed on, issues with the USATF's Olympic selection process and much, much more: si.com/olympics/athin…

@GregBishopSI @SInow Describing what happened as her “being spiked” is atrocious journalism

PSA: Don't take polls asking "will you watch the debate" literally. 61% of U.S. adults would be 158 million people, but there's no way 158M people are gonna watch the debate. This year's Super Bowl got "only" 123M viewers.
PBS News@NewsHour
A majority of Americans plan to see President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump meet up for their first 2024 debate tonight, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll. Overall, 61% of U.S. adults say they will watch all or most of the debate, moderated by CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash in Atlanta. Another 24% said they would not watch the debate, but would pay close attention to related news coverage. Fourteen percent said they would avoid the debate altogether. Younger people, especially those between the ages of 18 to 29, are least likely to say they will watch the debate. Older people, especially those age 60 or older, are most likely to watch.
