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, however, because the Enhanced Games, true to its name, allows performance-enhancing drugs that are banned in mainstream sports. The men's 50m freestyle world record of 20.88 seconds was set two months ago in a sanctioned event by Cameron McEvoy ___ AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/sports
