The Enhanced Games - Christina Smith Explains All!

Message Home Trails here - include an email or name for a response ⬅️In this episode I speak to Christina Smith.Christina is an Olympic bobsledding athlete residing in Canada, who now works for The Enhanced Games.If you’re not familiar with the concept of the EG…….it’s set to be the Olympic Games for the next generation.Imagine the Olympics, but without drug testing. Imagine having a team of scientists and doctors overseeing everything in the name of science and research.Well you don’t have to imagine, because it’s coming!This isn’t just an idea thought up in a bedroom, it’s backed by a number of wealthy investors and is set to be the ‘formula one’ of sport.Rather than have strict regulations on athletes supplementing with performance enhancing substances. The EG has a science based approach.They’re allowing athletes to use anything they want to aid them in recovery and performance. Whilst at the same time providing them with medical supervision and conducting research on them.It sounds wild……and it is, but this conversation wasn’t so much about the prevalence of drug use in professional sport (which is around 44% apparently) but rather it highlights that in a world of testing, the enhanced games can be at the forefront of scientific research and help push athletes to new levels.I know this will divide opinions on what is morally right, but hear them out. You might be surprised by some of the logic in what they are trying to do.URS@ultrarunning_sam@hometrails_http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam
