His time of 20.81sec -- which is not considered official -- came in the final event of the night, sparing the blushes of organizers who had predicted that multiple world records would be surpassed due to an open and sophisticated doping regime.Gkolomeev, who was also wearing a synthetic "supersuit" long banned at events such as the Olympics, went faster than Australia's Cameron McEvoy's mark of 20.88 set in March."It was a great race... I got it," said Gkolomeev, who pocketed a $1 million bonus for the unofficial record."I'm going to continue. Maybe next year I'll break it again."The Enhanced Games have been denounced as dangerous by athletics governing bodies, who said they would not recognize records set at the event.But participants, lured by prize money of up to $1 million for surpassing world records, and $250,000 for event wins, included Olympic medallist swimmers James Magnussen, Cody Miller and Ben Proud.Gkolomeev earlier clocked 46.60sec in the 100m freestyle, admitting he was frustrated to come "very close" to the world record of 46.40 held by China's Pan Zhanle.
