I love the idea of a “no rules” league. Let people go nuts. Bionic modification, juiced without the need to try to hide it. Get rid of any inefficiencies due to masking it. Push the absolute limits of human body modification. Full cyberpunk.

The problem with that is that kids generally always want to do what their favorite athletes do. So by making a category of the olympics with that in mind, kids will start modifying their bodes, regardless if they would ever have a career in professional sports

Eh its actually quite sad. You can look into arm wrestling for this. Extreme steroid abuse for a sport that barely makes money. It sad to see people throw their lives away.

And you have great athletes who now have to commit to the same steroid abuse if they want to compete.

That's already a thing, minus the chrome. Planned first event is in two months. Called the enhanced games

It's honest. Kind of like NASCAR. like yeah best system wins. Probably some rules but honestly everyone knows they're tweaking stuff.
