Fred Kerley ran 100 meters in a pedestrian 9.97 seconds to win the Enhanced Games in a race where the sprinters were placed in the starting blocks four times because of false starts and untied shoes. Kerley, who predicted Usain Bolt’s world record of 9.58 seconds would get “destroyed,” ran a time that would have placed him last at the Paris Olympics two years ago, where he actually won a bronze medal. The only athlete to break a world record over the four hours of swimming, weightlifting and track was Kristian Gkolomeev, who closed the night by swimming the 50-meter free in 20.81 seconds. That record won’t go into the books because the Enhanced Games allows performance-enhancing drugs that are banned in mainstream sports.
