To all the USA athletes competing in Pazardzhik, Bulgaria at the 2026 Pentathlon World Cup — wear the red, white, and blue with pride. Every early morning, hard workout, sacrifice, and setback has prepared you for this moment. Trust your training, support your teammates, and compete with courage and heart. No matter the outcome, you have already accomplished something extraordinary by earning the opportunity to represent your country on the world stage. Stay focused, stay confident, and enjoy every moment. USA is proud of you!

Steven's ninja training gym (Rock Solid Warrior) shared this, and I thought there may be others in the community who would find it useful. -------------------------------------------------- As ninja warriors, we put our hands through a lot—taking care of them is key. Check out our quick video—Coach Brett and Izabela walk you through proper hand care to keep your ninja strong and training! Daily & Post-Training Care - Keep calluses smooth by filing them down regularly to prevent tearing using an electric callus remover or pumice stone - Moisturize daily with a quality hand balm to avoid cracks - Skip heavy lotions right before training—they can soften skin too much - Wash hands after training to remove chalk and dirt that dry out skin
