The Super Olympics

by A. Brough

Usain Bolt set the world record for the 100m in 2009. That’s 7 years ago. He clocked 9.58seconds.

There is a debate that the record may be broken but only by a fraction… maybe…  because according to “science”, the human body has a limit.

So it is possible that we have seen the most superior athletes, warriors, gladiators and so on of all time. The GOATS of everything have been seen. Natural human capability has reached it’s maximum? 

Bullshit.

Just for fun. Let’s imagine Usain Bolt on performance enhancers. Just for fun. I mean, holy shit!

He’d still be the fastest but damn that record would be smashed! How fast do you think he would go? 

Well I did a check and there is speculation and zzzzzzz…. So apparently the human body cannot go faster than what Usain Bolt has achieved. 

I mean that’s pretty impressive. If he took drugs he’d just run the same time. So maybe he was a bad example for this.

Would it be harmful? Yep. Dangerous? Totally. But what if everything that was bad was done properly. Enhance the human, sure, but why does it have to be sinister? Why does everything have to be pushed to that end.

There is another end!

Like the doctor that made Captain America. He was nice. But then he died… This also is a bad example. 

But how much amazing would it be to watch super enhanced humans compete. I’m against competition because I like it, but it is here.

Wait a minute. Would it turn into a competition to see who makes the best enhancer?

Ahh to be human.

I said earlier that I hate competition because I like it. I hate that I like it. I see what it does to people. I feel what it does to me.

I grew up in rugby country. I was too skinny to play rugby. Trust me. So I played basket-ball.

I mean. Imagine MJ on enhanced drugs.

I love sports. It brings people together… and it also separates people.

Like with everything in life, competition it is problematic. Some things need a bigger change. The sacrfice that keeps getting mentioned is bigger than, “just one person can make a difference”. We all are relying on that person to do the thing.

Jesus did it. Someone else is going to do it. Right?
