I think sport in general has already evolved quite far from the Coubertinesque ideal, what's with excessive commercialisation, artificial augmentation, people having to intensively train their whole lives to even compete at high levels, separate competition categories for the two sexes, different body types, ability and disability, and so on. I'm not sure a few more steps towards transhumanism would be that radical of a change.
