Los Angeles is about to host the most unexpected competition yet: sperm racing. Yes, real human swimmers under the microscope, battling for microscopic gold. It’s science meets sport meets awkward conversations, and LA's latest reminder that no idea is too weird if you add enough spectacle and a live stream.

At the heart of sperm racing, elite clinics like USC’s Fertility Center prep “team entries” with playful monikers such as Nitro Tadpoles, propelling friendly rivalries across Los Angeles. Sperm racing participants bet on their favorites, and with LA’s flair for the spectacular, this new sport promises both bizarre fun and serious buzz, leaving sperm racing both a viral headline and a cheeky new chapter in the city’s sports culture.
