Enhanced Games to Debut in Las Vegas with $1 Million Prizes, Backed by Peter Thiel
The Enhanced Games, a controversial sports competition allowing performance-enhancing drugs, will debut in Las Vegas on Memorial Day weekend in 2026. The event, backed by tech billionaire Peter Thiel, challenges traditional Olympic norms by offering $1 million prizes to record breakers.
Former Olympic swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev has already claimed the first $1 million prize. The inaugural games will be held at Resorts World Las Vegas, marking a bold departure from conventional athletic standards.
