Sprinters from the doping Olympics missed Usain Bolt’s record, clean athletes are winning despite the odds

ByTech Word News

The inaugural, highly controversial Enhanced Games ended in Las Vegas, delivering a beautifully embarrassing reality check for the multi-million dollar “doped Olympics” experiment. Organizers threw millions at the event, practically begging science to subdue natural human limits. Instead, the biggest winners of the night were the pure, unenhanced athletes who crashed the farm party and walked away with the spoils.

It turns out that freeing science from regulatory limits doesn’t immediately produce superhumans.

RESULTS ON THE TRACK

The main hook of Enhanced Games was the promise of breaking track records by freeing athletes from pesky anti-doping regulations. Instead, the night only proved that Usain Bolt’s legendary 100m record of 9.58 seconds remains completely untouchable, even when the competition is chemically supercharged.

It was a huge surprise for the organizers that the clean athletes completely surpassed the flagship in the sprint. Fred Kerley won the title of “World’s Fastest Man” at the event and won the grand prize of US$250,000. Kerley ran completely clean and unenhanced, clocking a solid 9.97 seconds. While this was an outstanding performance for a natural athlete, the fact that an unenhanced runner claimed the flagship crown was an embarrassing result for a display built on the power of chemical enhancement.

The irony deepened in the women’s 100m sprint. The crown was taken by Tristan Evelyn, a decidedly unenhanced, completely drug-free athlete. Evelyn clocked 11.14 seconds, completely outpacing her chemically enhanced peers. She grabbed the US$250,000 first-place check and headed to the bank, leaving a stadium full of scientifically optimized sprinters wondering where their money had gone.

NEW WATER VALUES

While the track seemed a little crazy to the doping crowd, there was a massive financial and athletic explosion in the pool. Remember, this explosion happened because the Enhanced Games allowed both performance-enhancing drugs and high-tech polyurethane “supersuits,” which the Olympics banned in 2010 as literal cheats.

Greece’s Kristian Gkolomeev absolutely blew away the men’s 50m freestyle. He touched the wall in an incredible 20.81 seconds, technically beating the official drug-free world record of 20.88 seconds.

Because Gkolomeev broke the barrier under wild card rules, he earned a ridiculous $1,000,000 world record bonus to his $250,000 winner’s purse. Swimming’s international governing bodies won’t touch that record with a ten-foot pole, but Gkolomeev probably won’t care when he collects a $1.25 million paycheck.

THE LIMITS OF PHYSICAL STRENGTH

On the lifting platform in the evening, the heavily publicized “Greatest Deadlift Showdown” took place, where the goal was to find the absolute limit of the structural integrity of the human spine.

The crowd went wild as the bar was loaded at a monstrous historic 515 kilograms (1,135 pounds). The mountain of the man known as “Thor” came heartbreakingly close to locking up the scales, but in the end gravity won out. It was a stark reminder that even with the best medical enhancements money can buy, human bones and tendons still have a maximum breaking point and the edges at the absolute limit remain razor thin.

By the end of the night, the Enhanced Games boasted 13 personal bests and a total of $7,000,000 in prize money had been awarded. The organizers got their headlines, but the night didn’t exactly prove that doping makes you a god. If anything, seeing unenhanced athletes like Tristan Evelyn holding the biggest trophies proved that good old fashioned genetics and hard work can still beat a syringe.
