Los Angeles witnessed one of its most bizarre and unforgettable sporting events on Friday night – the first-ever live sperm race – and it was a USC student who swam away with victory.
Inside a packed venue in Downtown L.A., Tristan from USC and Asher from UCLA faced off in what was billed as the ultimate test of swimming supremacy.
But instead of a traditional race, this competition focused on the strength and speed of their little swimmers, tracked in real-time on a giant screen for a roaring crowd to see.
At the start, both competitors’ sperm samples seemed to be neck and neck. However, in a sudden burst, one of Tristan‘s swimmers surged ahead – a performance that would make even Usain Bolt proud – pulling away from Asher‘s to capture the historic win.
How the sperm race unfolded
Standing in oversized tubes on stage, Tristan and Asher watched the action unfold. When the final result was confirmed, Tristan celebrated with an eruption of cheers and a blast of white confetti covering the crowd.
Meanwhile, Asher, representing UCLA, appeared to get splashed with some sort of mystery substance – the details of which remain, perhaps mercifully, unclear.
Following his triumphant finish, Tristan proudly showed off his prize – a golden sperm trophy – joking about where he might display it. Yet he also emphasized a more serious goal behind the spectacle: spreading positivity and raising awareness around male fertility issues.
Adding some celebrity firepower to the event, Ty Dolla $ign took the stage to perform, electrifying the crowd with his track “Carnival,” although he cut the song before reaching Kanye West‘s part.
Ahead of the race, Tristan and Asher had hyped up the competition on “TMZ Live,” engaging in some playful trash talk about whose “baby-making juice” would reign supreme.
They also shared details about their fitness routines in preparation for the big night.
The event’s organizers, led by entrepreneur Eric Zhu and his startup team, designed the race with a broader mission: to highlight the growing concern over declining fertility rates in men.
Judging by the turnout and buzz, it’s safe to say they succeeded in bringing attention to the cause – and giving USC another reason to gloat over UCLA.
As for the Bruins, maybe next year they’ll get another shot at redemption.
