Move over F1 and the Olympics..this year, the most unexpected race on Earth is happening not on wheels or feet, but under a microscope.
Yes, you read that right. Los Angeles is set to host the world’s first live sperm race, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. A custom-designed racetrack, thousands of spectators and two wriggling sperm samples going head-to-head (or tail-to-tail?) in a 20-centimetre sprint for microscopic glory.
The event is being put together by Sperm Racing, a startup founded and run by teenagers, and it’s all set to unfold at the Hollywood Palladium on April 25. The goal? In their words: “We’re turning health into a sport.”
Sounds bizarre? Maybe. But there’s a lot more to this than meets the eye. Here’s everything you need to know about the world’s first sperm race.
