More tennis retirements, John Isner will retire after the US Open.

More tennis retirements. 
 
 Mikael Ymer, 24 years old, retires from all professional tennis. This after he was suspended due missed doping tests. 
 
TBH  I will not miss him

Freestyle entries
 
https://uww.org/article/freestyle-entries-released-2023-world-championships
 
and again no Russia  how come they were registered in Greco (with a weird team) but not in men's and women's freestyle ?
 
my guess ? their top guys got rejected by UWW and therefore they decided to boycott the event or something like that. (or maybe the list is just not complete and they will be added later )

Group all-around starts now
5 Olympic quota + a world champion title.. c'mon Farfalle!

Amazing start for Spain. Love this show. Over 35.000! Well-deserved!
