Tom, you're at the Enhanced Games right now.
There are weightlifting, swimming and running events.
Tell us about the atmosphere on the ground.
Yeah, watching the games, the events are very close to each other as well.
You have the pool almost right next to the sprinting track.
How has that changed the atmosphere as well?
And why do the enhanced games exist at all?
What do the athletes get out of this?
Yeah, you mentioned there before that the drugs, it's way more controlled, I guess, than people might think.
But what type of drugs are these athletes taking?
Like, do we know specifics?
Now, Hunter Armstrong, we saw just recently, he won the 50-meter backstroke winner as an unenhanced athlete, so a clean swimmer.
And then we also had Fred Curley win the 100-meter heat, also unenhanced.
Why are there clean athletes competing at these drug-enhanced games?
And what does that actually say about these enhanced games if we have clean athletes essentially beating these enhanced or juiced up, drugged up athletes?
Does that kind of throw the games to the side?
And at the time of recording, we haven't seen any world records broken.
What would it actually mean if one of these enhanced athletes breaks a record?
Would it even count on the world stage?
Or is that just the Olympics kind of committee vibe?
