It took not a pedophile sex trafficking ring, not a genocide, not millions starving and losing their jobs, BUT a Druski skit to bring our politicians out of hiding.
America.
Hey xenophobes and racists, should she also pack up and go back to where she c comes from, as she’s “exploiting” a U.S. program only to compete for her home country, or is Sweden ok?

World Athletics is partnering with Technogym to launch a global indoor running competition: the World Treadmill Championship, also called Run X, in 2026. The exact date remains TBD.
There will be a $100,000 prize pool and a wild card entry to the World Road Running Championships.
There is no official world record for the 5K on the treadmill that is recognized by World Athletics yet.
🌍 How It Works
Distance: 5K (3.1 miles)
Venue: Participating gyms and wellness clubs with Technogym treadmills connected to the Technogym Digital Ecosystem
Eligibility: Open to recreational and professional runners worldwide
Format: Runners compete in their local Technogym-equipped gym. Times are uploaded automatically. A real-time global leaderboard will display rankings. The top runners from each age group advance to regional championships, then to a world final (top 10 men and women).
In November 2024, The Daily Mail was reported that World Athletics CEO Jon Ridgeon was considering the concept of a treadmill championships as a way to extend track and field’s reach by tapping into the virtual and indoor fitness market. At the time, World Athletics was nearing a partnership with a technology provider to set the groundwork for a global treadmill competition akin to successful models already seen in other endurance sports. Indoor rowing has held a World Championships since 2018. Cycling’s UCI Cycling Esports World Championships have been held on platforms like Zwift.
It’s a clear attempt by World Athletics to see if treadmill competition could serve as a bridge between casual and elite runners.
Athlete banned for anti-doping violations (missed tests) decides to compete in a doping league.
Sad, but not surprising. I guess if he doesn't improve much, we know his whole career was fueled by doping...
