@bruce_arthur Putting aside politics, an event like this would be objectively awesome.
Having Olympic and Paralympic athletes be the focus of (one of) the most important cities in the world would be a dream come true.

Momentum is building behind a potential New York City–Lake Placid Winter Olympics bid. Leaders say a joint model, inspired by Milano Cortina 2026, could combine existing infrastructure with a vision for future Games. 📷: Getty Images insidethegames.biz/articles/lake-…

Opinion: #Canada should host the #Olympics again to reignite national and civic pride

@julianzhang0 @Kalshi This was really intriguing to read! Looking forward to more - hopefully with a happier ending 🇨🇦😭

i've been writing for @Kalshi, and this is the first article i'm really proud of.
i think prediction markets will be the information engine of the future, and their extremely talent-dense team has been an absolute joy to work with.
as an american-born canadian who is back living in america for work, this was both fun and agonizing to write :) 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

@tobi I’ve seen first-hand how even a modest boost in financial support produces medals at the Olympics. Can’t say thank you enough for this support as it will make an impact on day one! 🇨🇦👏

Go for gold
Fiona McKean@FionaMcK
With the end of the Olympics in sight, @tobi and I are donating 1M to Great to Gold, a distinct fund within the @CDNOlympicFDN that is very entrepreneurial and data driven. They run the numbers, pick the winners, and give them what they need. Of the 19 medals won by Canada so far, 15 of them are supported by Great to Gold. If your family has enjoyed the Olympics as much as we have, consider helping out the athletes that have brought us so much joy. Team Canada forever! olympic.ca/great-to-gold/

Will be in Arizona (Phoenix and Scottsdale) this month and looking forward to some hiking, and I need advice on hikes that are moderate to hard. I love elevation. And also will the rattlesnakes be out? What are some things I should be aware of apart from snakes? 🙂

Dillon Brooks on if LeBron James took offense to his trash talk:
“Always. Always. LeBron likes people who bow down to him. I don’t bow down.”

@Puglaas Lack of principles is one thing. But do you believe it’s OK to change your opinion when new information/a new reality presents itself?
English
It is something to turn on the news & watch my former Cabinet colleagues say & do the exact opposite of what they claimed to be committed to when I was there. Total lack of principles & backbone.
No wonder there is so much cynicism & contempt for our political leaders. #cdnpoli

@Ondej941010 @TrimesTeam @Timheming @t100triathlon Lots of really interesting and talented athletes! Looking forward to next year I feel like there will be a few “marquee” races other than World Champs that will have insane fields.
Thinking Gold Coast T100, Oceanside, IM Frankfurt/Hamburg, Lake Placid, T100 London and Vancouver
English
@mdshrp @TrimesTeam @Timheming @t100triathlon Which is shame, because we have a lot of interesting athletes these days.
English
Triathlon’s T100 World Tour was based on golf’s Race to Dubai.
Presumably the year when Rory McIlroy shot a double bogey 7 on the 20th hole of the opening round.
English
@TrimesTeam @Timheming @t100triathlon They’re certainly not cash-flow positive. But the resources they have access to plus a more sustainable pro setup has me feeling like there’s still a chance they can land the plane.
Next year’s Pro format will be VERY interesting to follow
English
@mdshrp @Timheming @t100triathlon For sure, but the problem will always be, the return on the investment. There is no engagement. They have prefer to start really big making impossible to downside. Without Quatar, it’s already gone.
English
@TrimesTeam @Timheming @t100triathlon I think we saw how much downside the contracts brought to the Org. Glad to see them gone.
I can empathize the leaders would be pissed - they lost lots of money! But blaming T100 for their mistake is a bad look. Just own it and go smash the Grand Final!
English
@mdshrp @Timheming @t100triathlon Maybe t100 is taking the heat cause they stopping contracts for 2026.
You are right for gps. But if you have doubt on the number of laps… just trying to find his logic to do a extra one.
English
@TrimesTeam @Timheming @t100triathlon I don’t think you should EVER go off your watches’ GPS. How many tri courses are actually accurate? Officials say 8 laps - you do 8 laps.
Why did some athletes on the run do the full course, while others didn’t? They counted their laps.
@t100triathlon taking too much heat.
English
@Timheming @mdshrp @t100triathlon Also it’s not the first time that Wilde is not counting properly. He did happened in supertri Toulouse. In his defense Dubai was missing 4km

@richardzussman One of the best! Looking forward to seeing what’s next 💪💪💪

Baseball breaks your heart, and the Blue Jays are a Hall of Fame what if team, now. So what does it mean to watch your team lose the World Series in one of the great games ever played? It means you got to feel something; you just didn’t get to choose what. thestar.com/sports/blue-ja…

@brady_h Before watching I thought it was referencing the rise of influencers 😂
Re: doping, people who want to cheat will always be a step or two ahead. But maybe the punishment needs to be more severe?
Sponsors have a role too. Cut back from countries with structural doping issues.

Despite the implications of this investigation, I still can't get over the fact that even Consumer Reports has zero idea what they're talking about when it comes to protein recommendations...
Brady Holmer@Brady_H
Is there lead in your protein powder? A new Consumer Reports investigation finds that more than two-thirds of the 23 protein powders tested “contained more lead [in a single serving] than CR’s food safety experts say is safe to consume in a day (0.5 mcg)—some by more than 10 times.” The biggest offenders? Plant-based powders: •Nearly all plant-based products had elevated lead levels, which were 9x the amount found in those made with dairy-based proteins and 2x that found in beef-based proteins. • Two had so much lead (1,200% to 1,600% of the level of concern) that CR cautioned against using them at all.

@brian_drago_ No buoy! Really great for core strength and helping to train buoyancy.
When you fully empty your lungs with band, that’s when the legs start scraping the bottom of the pool!
English
@mdshrp With pull buoy or strictly band with no pull buoy? Tough 🤕

Short fins are making the biggest difference for my swim.
- longer reps while staying controlled in zone 2.
- arena pro fins work with flip turns easily.
- when I take them off, my kick works better to keep my feet on top of the water.
What’s your favorite pool toy?
