The Pope is a @TheLapCount reader confirmed. AI could never come up with the FSU cross country course conspiracy theory or make Jamaican fans mad for no reason every week.

This likely contradicts opinions I had in the past, but I’m marinating on the take that super shoes may end up being one of the worst things ever in terms of watching interesting and compelling elite level marathons.

From @TheLapCount. I agree with this take. It’s not a real term, as it’s just napkin math assessments of more concrete achievements (WR’s, titles, etc) So, it’s silly to get mad about it. Especially when this was ignited by a non-track guy who clearly used AI to write a post.

Ten Biggest Questions For 2026 💭 Does 2026 become the year of the comeback? — 2025 was a year to forget for more than a few of the sport’s biggest stars. Olympic champs like Grant Holloway and Jakob Ingebrigtsen battled injuries and less-than-perfect returns, whereas domestic stars like Elle St. Pierre and Parker Valby returned late from long breaks. Some of the most dominant athletes of the last decade – like Yulimar Rojas, Shericka Jackson, and Soufiane El Bakkali—were not able to return to the top of podiums they’d once frequented. There’s a silver lining in each of these individual storm clouds, however: everybody loves a comeback story." 📫 Read via @TheLapCount: thelapcount.substack.com/p/l…
