Dos Santos Reclaims Momentum With a Season-Best Win Over Benjamin in Eugene

Coffee with Larry is sponsored by OMIUS, the maker of cooling technology used in hats, visors, and headbands. Using OMIUS cooling pods by inserting them in the hat, visors, or
headbands, and adding water to the pods every 30-45 minutes keeps the cooling effect (think how sweat works).

Sifan Hassan used the headband in the Paris Olympic marathon, where she won. Bashir Abdi used the headband in the Men’s Marathon, where he took silver.
