Madison Wilson retired a couple of weeks ago after giving birth to her first child last year. Won silver in the 100 backstroke at 2015 Worlds before transitioning to freestyle leading to numerous relay medals and records.
There's no alternative host so no way they lose the games.
Edited by dullardKatir banned for four years for tampering
And another one bites the dust.
Kenyan runner Emmaculate Anyango given 6-year doping ban
Expand
Kenyan cross country runner Emmaculate Anyango has been banned for six years after failing a doping test for testosterone and the blood-boosting hormone EPO, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) said Friday.
The 24-year-old, who became the second woman to complete a 10km race in under 29 minutes (28:57) in Valencia in January, had been provisionally suspended last month.
Looks like it wasn't only East Germany doping their athletes.
ExpandIf he was tested after taking Cocaine it would be.
It's only banned in competition and his games are already over.
ExpandMore news today about a member of the Chinese swim team women's 4 x 200 that is competing tomorrow testing positive for an anabolic steroid last year Tang Muhan. She now joins Yang Jungxuan and Zhang Yufei (also competing in the 200 fly) who tested positive for TMZ. They claim it was caused from eating hamburgers. Now 75 percent of the relay has been caught for doping with absolutely no punishment at all. So awful what is going on here, how are they still allowed to compete?
It was in 2022 and this was confirmation of rumours that were already spreading at the time on social media and at SwimSwam that she'd tested positive.

Some Australian swimmer retirements so far this year:
Cate Campbell
Kiah Melverton
Mack Horton
Minna Atherton
Chelsea Hodges (think I already posted this one)
Mitch Larkin (announced just now on IG)
Erriyon Knighton tested positive to trenbolone but has been given no sanction because it was supposedly caused by contaminated meat.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/c9990z2zrqlo
This is not long after NY Times did a hit piece against Chinese athletes that weren't sanctioned in 2016-2017 for clenbuterol also supposedly because of contaminated meat.
ExpandInteresting that EPO is still around ... ant that people can still very easely get away with it.
If microdosed carefully it's almost impossible to detect so probably used widely.
He's young enough that he can return and still have a fairly full career. A shady club in the US will probably even let him continue to train with them during the ban.
Despite successfully defending against his EPO positive this guy is sus af.
Screenshot found on Peter Bol's phone contained doping information - report
ExpandIn an appeal against an EPO doping charge against Vuskovic, the hearing heard how Australian anti-doping officials, who seized Bol's phone and computer, found a screenshot on the phone about how to micro-dose EPO and get away without detection, from Victor Conte, a former distributor of performance-enhancing drugs.
Won't be cheering for him in Paris.
After struggling with chronic hip injuries from a young age that required multiple surgeries Chelsea Hodges retires from swimming. Chelsea was an integral part of the relay that upset the US in the medley relay in Tokyo.

Well this thread has gone in quite a direction ...
This would probably vary greatly depending on the generation but I'll give it a try. The list is unsurprisingly dominated by Sydney 2000 and swimming and I ignored 2020 because it's too recent. In no particular order:
Cathy Freeman lighting the cauldron at Sydney 2000
Cathy Freeman winning the 400m at Sydney 2000
Ian Thorpe wins gold in the 400m freestyle in world record at Sydney 2000
Steven Bradbury's last man standing gold at Salt Lake 2002 (entered colloquial vernacular as "doing a Bradbury")

Kieren Perkins defends 1500m gold after only scraping into the final by 0.2s at Atlanta 1996

With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in. -

It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best. -
So after finding this this morning I started to search for more news about the date and ticket prices all over the world web ! I found this then to just notice later that it was April fools so yeah, that was my day -
