A couple passings of note in April.     Tom Gayford   April 26, age 97. He was a gold medalist in the equestrian team jumping in 1968.       Lyudmila Lysenko    and    April 13, age 91.  She won the gold medal in the 800 meters in 1960.  This was the first time the women's 800 had been contested at the Olympics since 1928.  

European Aquatics has launched a program to boost team entries on the road to the Paris 2026. Three national federations — Portugal, Türkiye and Bulgaria — are now receiving 10,000 euros each to prepare teams to compete at this summer’s European Championships.This initiative was prompted by the fact that, while many federations had athletes involved in solo or duet competition, the number of countries taking part in the team events was relatively limited. More on that initiative soon.
