World Athletics Council ban Nike Alpha Fly trainers worn in sub-two-hour marathon

The international body that governs track and field has announced it has "amended its rules" on what shoes athletes can wear in competitions. The changes made by World Athletics Council mean the Nike next-generation Alpha Fly trainer will be banned - the shoe Eliud Kipchoge ran a sub-two-hour marathon in Vienna in October 2019. As a part of the amended rules, shoes must have been available on the open retail market for at least four months before they can be used in competition. On their website, Nike says Kipchoge "tested" a number of "prototype" trainers in competitions suggesting the shoes were not available on the wider market. Nike has been approached for comment.

Gallup: Credit Unions Feel The Love

The notion that credit unions (CUs) play country mouse to their more worldly banking cousins is beyond flawed, as a recent poll by the Gallup organization showed. Delving into customer sentiments across measures – including "helps me reach my financial goals" and "puts my financial well-being ahead of the interests of the bank" – Gallup found that credit unions are crushing it. Banks, not nearly as much. Banks did not surpass credit unions in any criterion used by Gallup. In fact, it wasn't even close. Though respondents had generally positive feelings about banks – for example, about financial institutions (FIs) being helpful during difficult life events – the focus on relationship-building and more personalized forms of finance have given credit unions the edge. For those who capitalize on it, the advantage will come in handy as FIs shapeshift their way to greater customer-centricity. How CUs sustain their unique brand of customer loyalty is among the core insights from the latest
