But his third start was perfect. He slipped into the water, and three powerful dolphin kicks put him on his way. He felt good – strong, relaxed, in flow. Magnussen could see a slice of the swimming pool through the open door of the massage room, and when he saw him pass, he knew he was going faster than before. Hawke jogging alongside the swimming pool with a stopwatch to follow the sharing hours, and at the bar of 35 meters, he realized what was going to happen. Gkolomeev touched the wall and turned to check his time on the big screen in disbelief – 20.89 seconds, a new world record. AGAPE mouth, hands raised on his black swimming cap in real shock. At the other end of the pool, Martin jumped into the water to celebrate. “I felt like a Labrador who just couldn’t help stop,” he said. Hawke was sitting with his head in his hands, as if he couldn’t believe what they had just done. “It was a great day,” says Martin. “Brett was crying. One of the officials was crying. “
Gkolomeev phoned his wife to tell him that they were millionaires. The presentation of giant checks had to wait – the organizers had organized one, but it had been made to James Magnussen, so they returned the next day to stage images for the documentary and slowdown photos by spraying champagne. There was always an eye on the perspective – and the news of the file was kept a closely kept secret, for the moment.
Seven weeks later, Gkolomeev returned to North Carolina to beat another world record – for the best time of “Jammers”, the advanced shorts that elite swimmers have since worn since the surprises were prohibited in 2010. But he found it much more difficult. He was longer on the improvement diet, and although he did not gain as much weight as Magnussen, he had to adjust his technique to compensate. In the end, Gkolomeev took five attempts to go to a hundredth of a second under the time of 21.04 from Caeleb Dressel in 2019.
The fact that Gkolomeev seemed to become slower, the more he spent on the protocol made me wonder if he could have broken the record anyway, without improvements. “I would like to think yes,” said Hawke, his coach. Gkolomeev agrees – but says it would have taken more time, perhaps six months of training. Magnussen, perhaps without surprise, grants credit to medication. “If you look at its 50-meter freestyle race in Paris, 15 meters, it was eighth,” he said. “It was the last because it did not have this explosive force and this power that you get on the performance improvement protocol. I think it gave it the latter 1% – this last cherry in mind to break the world record.”
In May, improved held what he was referring internally as an apple launching event “to Resorts World, a sprawling hotel and a casino complex in Las Vegas, where he would announce the date and place of the first improved games. It was one day that many skeptics never thought of coming. If you had asked me six months ago, I would have accepted. had changed what seemed possible.
In accordance with the digital approach first of D’Esza’s digital, the presentation was being broadcast on YouTube, but there were a hundred people gathered in the Zouk nightclub, where VIPs seemed more numerous than the regular guests by around 4 to 1. I met Zoltan Istvan, a transhumanist who presents himself at the post of Governor of California. Improved staff – almost exclusively in good shape, young and possibly improved, has been built in brand brand T -shirts. Peter Thiel’s husband Matt Danzeisen was there with a delegation of Thiel Capital and a security detail so discreet that I did not even notice that they were there until someone tells me later.
After a heavy introduction -Greek statues collapse, a solemn voiceover saying things like “we dream beyond what we have been allowed to dream” -Souza went on stage. He looked unusually nervous. The first improved matches, he announced, would take place at Resorts World in Las Vegas on the Memorial Day weekend in May 2026. If it was a little anticlimatic-we were already sitting there, after all-, which came shocked the crowd. Angermeryer had the honor of doing the Steve Jobs line – “one more thing” – when he introduced a Gkolomeev clip breaking the world record of 50 meters. There was an amazed silence in the room, followed by a salvo of applause. A guy near the front with the physique of a wrestler and visible front veins got up on a standing ovation.
