His 70-meter effort broke the Olympic record set minutes prior by Lithuania’s Mykolas Alekna, a heavy favorite going into the Games. “I yanked it, it just dropped right out of 20 meters,” Stona recalled the first moment he picked up a discus. In Fayetteville, he met Ryan Crouser – a three-time Olympic gold medalist and an Olympic record holder in shot put – who joined the Razorbacks’ athletics staff in 2019 as a volunteer. But Stona had other plans: his fourth attempt on the night sailed 70 meters, breaking the Olympic record set minutes earlier and causing one of the biggest upsets of the Games. The gold medal in Paris gave Stona “some next level of confidence” to pick up where he left off.

Inspired by successful e-commerce entrepreneurs, I decided to try my hand at selling on Amazon. I set a budget of $5,000, enough to launch something basic and an amount I was comfortable losing. These conversations got me thinking: Is starting a profitable Amazon business … simple? We'd been toying with the idea of starting an e-commerce business since the spring of 2023, when I mentioned one of the Amazon stories I was working on. Double the founders would mean not only double the budget but double the skillset and the network.

Not having — or losing — your sense of smell may be linked to changes in breathing that could lead to depression, social isolation or other mental and physical health problems, a new study suggests. About 72% of those completely regained their sense of smell, while about a quarter partially got their sense of smell back. Previous research has linked anosmia to a wide variety of negative outcomes, ranging from dulled emotions and depression to a shortened lifespan, the authors noted. It was a game changer.”Currently, health care providers often don’t ask about or test for anosmia, Parma said. “And when there is a pleasant smell, the brain tells the nose to increase the amount of air inhaled.

Major League Soccer scored several regular season records, including for attendance and sponsorship, thanks in part to international superstar Lionel Messi — and corporate strategy. Each match during the 2024 season averaged 23,234 attendees, the highest ever for the regular season. Last year, the MLS’s Inter Miami signed Messi, which caused a surge in attendance, jersey and other product sales, and overall fanbase engagement. The league signed 18 new sponsorship partners this season between the MLS and Soccer United Marketing (SUM), the commercial arm of the MLS. Viewership data isn’t available for MLS Season Pass, but Apple executives have said on public calls that the audience has risen since Messi joined the league.
