Fred Kerley gets familiar competittor as star sprinter comes out of retirement to join Enhanced Games
Following in the footsteps of three-time World Champion Fred Kerley, another decorated sprinter has joined the controversial Enhanced Games.
Reece Prescod, a 4x100m relay bronze medalist from the 2022 World Championships, has come out of retirement to compete, highlighting the event's compensation model as a key factor in his decision.
The former European 100m silver medallist who announced his retirement in August 2025, has reversed his decision and is now the fourth male sprinter to sign on with the Enhanced Games, joining Kerley, Mouhamadou Fall, and Emmanuel Matadi.
"I’m very excited to join the sprinting field and compete in the inaugural Enhanced Games," an elated Prescod stated, expressing enthusiasm for the opportunity ahead of the inaugural event in Las Vegas this May.
The 29-year-old praised the organization's approach, adding, "The Enhanced medical team is top-tier and has prioritised my safety and well-being from the start. Enhanced has provided me with life-changing medical supervision, exceptional training support, and a fantastic compensation model."

With a personal best of 9.93 seconds, he is one of Great Britain's fastest sprinters in history, joining Kerley and Matadi as the third sub-10-second runner in the event's lineup. This positions him as a strong contender for the $250,000 first-place prize or the $1,000,000 bonus for breaking a world record.
