The inaugural Enhanced Games in Las Vegas featured only one world record, set by swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev in the men's 50m freestyle. Despite the event's promise to redefine sports through performance-enhancing drugs, the night lacked the excitement and records anticipated by organizers. Three clean athletes also emerged victorious, highlighting the contrast between enhanced and natural performances.
- ▪Kristian Gkolomeev set the only world record of the meet with a time of 20.81 seconds in the men's 50m freestyle.
- ▪The record will not be officially recognized due to the use of a banned skinsuit and doping.
- ▪Three clean athletes, including Fred Kerley and Tristan Evelyn, won their events, emphasizing the value of competing without enhancements.
