The Enhanced Games were held on Sunday, May 24, and the controversial event in Las Vegas, Nevada, featured competitors vying for a new world record.

While normal competition in weightlifting, swimming and track have intense anti-doping policies, Enhanced aimed to see what the athletes could do with the use of PEDs if the athletes wanted to partake.

So, how did it go? In the very last event of the night, the men’s 50m free, Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev broke the non-enhanced world record time of 20.88 (Cameron McEvoy, Australia) with a 20.81-second swim. The swim earned Gkolomeev $250,000 for first place and a $1 million bonus for eclipsing the non-enhanced world record.

The record is not considered official. In addition to having competed on PEDs, the swimmers also wore high-tech suits that have been banned.

Gkolomeev is a three-time former NCAA champion for Alabama, including the 2014 championship in the 50 free. He won silver in the event at the 2019 world championships. He competed for Greece in four Olympic Games from 2012 to 2024, but never medaled.

Outside of Gkolomeev’s swim Sunday night, world records were elusive.

Of the most notable athletes competing, Fred Kerley, who said he did not compete “enhanced,” fell short of the world record by about four-tenths of a second. British swimmer Ben Proud came close to the world record in the men’s 50m fly, posting a 22.32 (WR is 22.27 seconds).

Thor Björnsson, also known as the “Mountain,” from “Game of Thrones,” deadlifted 475kg (the world record is 510.)

The event has been colloquially known as “the Olympics with steroids,” but not every athlete chose to use PEDs. Those who did were under strict medical supervision to ensure that they were using the drugs safely.

With the event aimed at seeing whether science could help athletes reach another level, all eyes were on whether competitors would be able to make history. There was even a hefty payday on the table for them, as Enhanced said that any world records set would award the athlete additional prize money. For the weightlifting events, an athlete could net an extra $250,000; in the 100-meter sprint or the swimming events, a record-breaking athlete could win an additional $1 million.
