While the world championships and other competitions go by with little fanfare among the wider public, when the Olympics come around it’s consistently one of the most-watched events.

Olympic medalist Simone Biles is on another level — it's hard to argue against it. Biles has brought a daring and innovative approach to gymnastics, continuously working to elevate the standard for the sport as a whole. Most recently, in late July, Biles made an official submission to the FIG Women's Technical Committee for a new element on the uneven bars to be named after her, according to the Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG). The skill comprises of a clear hip circle with 1.5 turns, or precisely 540 degrees, transitioning into a handstand. The skill is a variation of an element performed by Canadian gymnast, Wilhelm Weiler, and Biles has completed the move throughout her career. Although exact details are uncertain, there is considerable speculation that Biles will perform the new element at the start of her uneven bars routine in Paris.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
