Enhanced Games got its 'world record', but felt more like a glorified infomercial
The Enhanced Games successfully broke a world record, but the event was criticized for feeling more like a commercial than a legitimate sporting competition. Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev set a new record in the 50-meter freestyle while using performance-enhancing drugs and high-tech suits. Despite the achievement, the official record remains with the previous holder due to the nature of the event.
- ▪Kristian Gkolomeev swam the 50-meter freestyle in 20.81 seconds, breaking the previous world record.
- ▪The Enhanced Games allowed athletes to use performance-enhancing drugs, which are banned in traditional sports.
- ▪Gkolomeev received $250,000 for winning and an additional $1 million for breaking the record, although it won't be recognized officially.
