Technological billionaires like to paint like contrary geniuses – boys (almost always guys) who see institutions insist that things should be done in a way of silly things like proofs and experience and react: “Me, a person who has no knowledge or exposure to this thing, I know better.” There may be no illustration of this state of mind that “improved games”, a competition of the Olympic game type with the support of Peter Thiel which puts aside the prohibitions of drugs improving performance and encourages competitors to inject themselves into everything that will make it the best version of themselves. According to a New Wired reportThings do not go as planned.
To be clear, improved games seem to occur. They are Scheduled for May 2026 in Las VegasA handful of athletes are on board, and there is funding from the capital of Thiel and Donald Trump Jr. in 1789. But behind the scenes, it seems that things were a little in disorder.
For example, to promote the games, the founder Aron of Souza has put $ 1 million for any “improved” athlete (read: Take drugs that are prohibited from other official competitions) to beat the world swimming records for the 100 meter Sprint or the 50 meter free. Kristian Gkolomeev, an Olympian of 31 years of Bulgaria, reached this goal … But it was not the horse that the improved movement initially supported.
The Australian swimmer James Magnussen was supposed to be the poster of the games, moving in California to undergo a doping diet that blew up on testosterone and growth hormones to train in a world record. According to WiredMagnussen ended up becoming too buff, his muscular mass weighing him and inflates him so much that when they gave him his swimsuit – a “superstrue” in complete polyurethane which was prohibited from the Olympic competition – he torn it. When he finally entered the water to put the improved approach to the test, he posted a time which was 1.2 seconds slower than his own personal record since he was swimming.
Gkolomeev joined the “improved” challenge late, but benefited from a tonic diet that made Magnussen too large. He finally set a new world record, but when he tried to reproduce him for weeks later, after more time on the doping program and his body undergoing more changes, he finished with a slower moment. Wired asked the swimmer and his coach if he could have broken the world record without drugs, and the two concluded that he could probably have been. Ah well!
D’ouza – perhaps better known as the guy who managed Thiel Litigation against Gawker—Am to be a real believer throughout the human movement “improved” (read: drugs), and it seems confused about the reason why no one else gets it. By cablePart of the reason for which he launched his competition was because he dined with members of the Olympic International Committee and found them displaying the “uncompromising” intellect.
But it seems that the project goes further, more Souza and Company realize that there could be standards in place for a reason. It is already fell from a free for all participating athletes to use drugs which are legal in their country of origin and which are prescribed to them by a doctor, and they must undergo strict monitoring to ensure that their bodies respond well to doping.
Meanwhile, the real motif behind the “improved” movement seems simple: it is a selling scheme of supplements and drinks for athletes, a giant market with Extremely high margins. Wired has reported that Souza has announced improved performance products alongside the next improved games. Someone should tell him that it would be cheaper to start a podcast.
