Enhanced Games organisers said on Wednesday they will offer a $10 million bonus to any man who breaks Usain Bolt\u2019s 100 metres world record at their 2027 event, sharply \u200cincreasing the financial stakes for the controversial, drug-friendly competition.<\/p>\n

Enhanced said the prize would go to the winner of the men\u2019s 100m final if he runs faster \u200bthan Bolt\u2019s 9.58 seconds, the time the Jamaican set in \u200bBerlin in 2009 and which is viewed as one \u2060of the most untouchable marks in the sport.<\/p>\n

The announcement followed the inaugural \u200bEnhanced Games, held on Sunday at Resorts World Las Vegas, where \u200bathletes produced one swimming \u201cworld record\u201d and 21 personal bests.<\/p>\n

Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev won the 50m freestyle with a time of 20.81 seconds and earned a total of $1.5 million, which the company described as the largest single payout in swimming history.<\/p>\n

His time will not make official record books because competitors\u2019 results are \u200cconsidered \u2060illegal by global sporting authorities.<\/p>\n

The Enhanced Games permits athletes who use substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), while the swimmers are also allowed to wear polyurethane \u201csuper-suits\u201d banned in 2010.<\/p>\n

Chief Executive Maximilian Martin said in a shareholder letter that \u2060the debut event showed the impact of \u201cmedically supervised enhancement protocols,\u201d with 13 athletes setting 21 new personal bests.<\/p>\n

The company said all competitors cleared medical screenings and left \u2060the event healthy.<\/p>\n

Enhanced said its first event had secured more than $32 million in contracted sponsorship value and that planning for the 2027 Games was \u2060already \u200bunderway. The company also said it was considering smaller events before then, with endurance sports identified as a possible next area of expansion.-Reuters<\/p>\n
