Ever wonder how Olympic gymnasts manage to do all those flips, jumps, and splits without getting major wedgies?. Well, unsurprisingly, a lot goes into the design of their leotards to prevent slipping and shifting. For starters, the company that produces American Olympic gymnasts’ performance outfits, GK Elite, tailors each outfit to the athlete’s measurements using very specific materials.

As Serena Williams volleyed back and forth with Ajla Tomljanovic during her final tennis match in September 2022, 4.6 million viewers (an ESPN record for the sport) tuned in.

Core memory: those old-school mattress commercials where someone jumps on one side of the bed and a glass of red wine stays upright on the other. To my kid-eyes, the glass’s lack of wobble seemed like magic. In reality, it was thanks to memory foam, a polyurethane-based material that conforms to your touch and absorbs the vibrations caused by movement. Mattresses made from this material tend to be softer and less bouncy than hybrid mattresses or traditional innerspring options. They’re known for being squishy, and for allowing your body to sink down into them—famously, your body leaves behind an imprint when you get out of bed.

On Monday of this past week, I played hooky from work and went fly fishing for the first time in years. I was in California’s Eastern Sierras and hit up the Upper Owens river with a guide on a beautiful morning in the mountains. Even though the trout were being persnickety about what we threw at them, it felt awesome to get out with a fly rod in my hands (proof on Instagram).

When she pulled it off during the final round yesterday, she earned 96.49 out of a total of 100 points.
