All You Need to Know About World’s Ever First Sperm Race

Hollywood has never stopped surprising the world with amazing and weird events, and this time they have come up with a new sperm race competition festival that has been organized for the first time in Los Angeles's Hollywood Palladium.

According to the WION publication, the competition sees participants placing their sperm samples under a microscope and watch them race towards the finish line.

The event happened on Friday 25^th night at the famed Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and was organized by a group of American students who gave it a title as the world's first Sperm Racing competition.

The rare event is said to have turned heads with a provocative mix of science, spectacle, a cause, and adolescent humor.

According to WION, the organizers of the event raised a whopping $1.5 million, equivalent to 194 million Kenyan Shillings in funding.

The quite unusual event was explained literally as a head-to-head race between sperm samples from two healthy university students down an eight-inch (20 cm) long racetrack.

The goal, organizers said, was to raise awareness about male fertility.

One organizer insisted that the event meant to provide alternative ways of improving male fertility by saying to the audience, "It's your choice to sleep earlier. It's your choice to stop doing drugs. It's your choice to eat healthier, and all these different things have a significant kind of impact on your motility.”

And in any other race or competition, there has to be a winner, but funny enough, participants in this race all were shy of using their real names and instead opted for nicknames for what was termed as a move to safeguard their identity.

Tristan Mykel, 20, a University of Southern California student competing under the nickname "Tristan Milker," was crowned the champion after beating 19-year-old University of California student Asher Proeger, AFP revealed.

The loser, who equally used a nickname was sprayed with a liquid-like semen.

The samples were deposited onto 2 mm-long tracks modelled after the female reproductive system. These microscopic tracks were magnified 100 times, filmed by specialized cameras, and turned into a 3D animation projected onto big screens for the live audience. Spectators were treated to livestreams, instant replays, and even real-time betting odds, AFP said.
