The Enhanced Games were a major flop
The Enhanced Games, held in Las Vegas, aimed to showcase the limits of human performance through the use of performance-enhancing drugs. However, the event was largely disappointing, with only one world record broken. The lack of significant achievements and ethical concerns have raised questions about the future of such competitions.
- ▪Only one non-enhanced world record was broken during the Enhanced Games.
- ▪Kristian Gkolomeev set a new record in the 50-meter freestyle, winning a $1 million prize.
- ▪The event struggled to attract traditional media coverage and was streamed for free on various platforms.
3 outlets in our directory ran this story, first to last over 18 hours. All of the coverage we found sits in one bucket: centre. That one-sidedness is itself worth noticing.
