What a week indie-disco darlings The Killers have ahead of them.Somebody told me they were playing the closing party at the Enhanced Games this Sunday in Las Vegas. And then, for reasons unknown, they head to Budapest to do the opening ceremony at the Champions League final next Saturday.So, that is one gig at a completely unnecessary addition to the sports calendar, created by corporate interests for the sole intention of flogging products to people who do not really like sport… and another at the Enhanced Games.I am joking, of course.

That timetable slipped slightly, as did the scale of the event. Sunday’s great leap forward will involve 42 athletes trying to break world records for big cash prizes in eight events:
