James Guy hopes to make a splash at another Olympic Games
The 29-year-old, a six-times Olympic medallist, will head into the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore with one eye firmly on LA and retirement currently far from his thoughts. Guy said: 'Yes, 100 per cent LA is in the plan. Obviously I'll be 32, turning 33, but I don't look like I'm going to change much in the next couple of years unless something drastically goes wrong.' A member of the Great Britain 4×200 metres freestyle team which retained its Olympic title in Paris last summer after taking gold at the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka, Guy is one of the nation's most decorated swimmers. Asked what he still had to tick off, he replied: 'Nothing really. I would say just in terms of where I am right now, I'm the happiest I've probably ever been in terms of my swimming career. 'That's why I'm still going, obviously, back on my best again, hitting personal best times. 'I think in terms of athletes of my age, it doesn't really happen that often, so to be where I am right now, really enjoying the sport, I'll try to do for as long as I can.' The British quartet of Guy, Tom Dean, Duncan Scott and Matt Richards face stern competition for top spot on the podium in Singapore with the Americans in impressive form at their trials. They will walk out having been lauded by the crowds at Wimbledon having been invited along with their partners into the Royal Box for the middle Sunday of the tournament. Guy said: 'We had a really good day, had some great seats. The food was fantastic – we ate scones and food all day and had lunch with the chairwoman of the club. I was talking to her and she said that Tom Cruise was in my seat the day before, so it was actually really, really cool.' Asked if he and his team-mates should have been eating scones as they prepares for the World Championships, he replied with a smile: 'I know. I only had a couple. Matt had more than me – he probably didn't tell you that, did he? I had two or three.'

New Mexico's fair season is coming. Check out events happening across the state
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – The 2025 New Mexico fair season is right around the corner, and with that comes county fairs, regional fairs, and the state fair. Story continues below News: New Mexico Supreme Court throws out embezzlement charges against former official Trending: A 'professional courtesy': How an officer crossed the line Community: Funding for farming internship program at APS in jeopardy KRQE Investigates: Embattled McKinley County DA asks for emergency funding to keep her office running While some of the fairs may include rides and games, food, entertainment, and competitions, many of them, much like the state fair, are centered around agriculture. 'Most of our county fairs started with an agricultural emphasis so that people could really take and showcase the agricultural side of things,' said Tom Dean, Southwest District department head for the Cooperative Extension Service. 'And that's why we've got the livestock shows; to be able to showcase livestock and the breeding, the genetics, and increasing those viabilities on our livestock side.' Many of the fairs are organized not only to show off the best livestock, homemade crafts and food, but also to educate others about agriculture. Educational outreach at the fairs can be seen through the 4-H youth development program and the FFA, which encourage kids to get involved in agriculture. 'Agricultural education for the general community is really something that, when we look at the state fair, it's something that's needed with our society. We have more and more people that are being removed from our agricultural lands. And so, they're living in cities. And so, knowing that aspect of where their food comes from and how things get to the end of that process is a pretty important factor,' Dean explained. Consulting company hired to create plan to redevelop New Mexico State Fairgrounds Whether people attend fairs to show off their livestock, learn about agriculture, or to be entertained by music, dancing, rides, games, or food, at the center of all the fairs, no matter how big or small, is community and providing an opportunity to socialize. 'But also, it is a pretty good economic driver, bringing folks in, using hotels and other things,' Dean explained. New Mexico's 2025 fair season kicks off in July and goes through October.
