Enhanced Games prize money
30 athletes have been paid £4,888,889 across 2 meets in 2026. Kristian Gkolomeev has won the most, £1,111,111. The Enhanced Games pay every final off one card: $250,000 to the winner, $125,000 to second, $75,000 to third and $50,000 to fourth, and where more athletes race, $30,000 to fifth and $20,000 to sixth and seventh. A swimming final is four swimmers, so each pays $500,000 and nobody in the pool goes home without a cheque; a 100m final is six sprinters and pays $550,000. Beating a world record pays more on top. In the men's 50m freestyle in 2026 Kristian Gkolomeev swam 20.81, under the 20.88 record, and was paid $1,250,000 for the race: $250,000 for the win and $1,000,000 for the record. The weightlifting and the deadlift are not in these tables.
