Fred Kerley, of the United States, competes in the men’s 100m final at the Enhanced Games in Las Vegas
Fred Kerley ran 100 meters in a pedestrian 9.97 seconds to win the Enhanced Games – but that same time would have seen the former bronze medallist finish last at the 2024 Olympics.
Kerley, who predicted Usain Bolt’s world record of 9.58 seconds would get “destroyed,” won a race in which the sprinters had to be placed in the starting blocks four times because of false starts and untied shoes.
The only athlete to win the $1m bonus for going faster than the world record over the four hours of swimming, weightlifting and track in the specially built stadium on the Las Vegas Strip was Kristian Gkolomeev, who closed the night by swimming the 50m free in 20.81 seconds.
That record won’t go into the books, however, because the Enhanced Games, true to its name, allows performance-enhancing drugs that are banned in mainstream sports.
The men’s 50m freestyle world record of 20.88 seconds was set two months ago in a sanctioned event by Cameron McEvoy.
British swimmer Ben Proud took part in The Enhanced Games
In all, Enhanced said there were 14 personal bests set by 12 athletes, all of them swimmers and weightlifters.
Among those who made runs at world marks was Ben Proud, the British Olympic silver medalist, who finished .05 off the 50m fly mark of 22.27.
“I think I am,” he said when asked if he was happy after winning $250,000. “But I think we all know what we came here for, and that’s a world record.”
