$1 million prize! Sperm competition to be held in the US

One of the most unexpected and original events we've ever seen will take place soon!

No, it's not about extreme sports or some impressive runway show – but about the first world sperm competition, which will be held at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.

Two samples will be “matched” on a 20-centimeter simulation track of the human reproductive system. Viewers will watch the sperm’s progress live via high-resolution cameras, with real-time commentary, statistics, replays and – of course – great betting interest.

The organizing startup Sperm Racing makes it clear that the event, as strange as it may seem, aims to open a serious discussion about the decline in male fertility. “Health is a fight and everyone deserves a place at the starting line ,” the organizers say.

Co-founder Eric Zhu explains that sperm motility – that is, their speed – is essential for fertility and is often overlooked, even though it is measurable and can be improved.

The startup has already secured $1 million in funding, while emphasizing that the goal is not just spectacle, but drawing attention to an underappreciated health issue. “Sperm Race,” as they call it, combines humor, technology, and awareness, turning health into something people want to discuss — and watch.

Male fertility: What the data shows

-Around 7% of men in the UK experience fertility problems.
-50% of infertility cases in heterosexual couples involve the man.
-Causes vary: low sperm count, poor motility or unknown causes.
-Solutions include lifestyle changes, treatments or assisted reproduction.
