The tunnel, stretching over 5000 kilometers, will run under the Atlantic Ocean's floor and will be exclusively a sports facility. No trains, cars, or freight traffic. Only running tracks, cycling zones, athletics areas, and possibly some specialized tracks for Nordic walking enthusiasts.
"We are tired of relying only on others' achievements. It's time to create our own," jokes one of the company's top managers in an informal conversation. The idea is for the tunnel to become the world's longest continuous running route. Runners will be able to cover the distance from London to New York without surfacing, at a comfortable temperature of +18°C and on perfect surfaces.
Representatives of 1XBET emphasize the positive aspects of the project: combating physical inactivity, uniting continents through sports, and, of course, new opportunities for interesting bets. The first markets are already being discussed: the time to cross the Atlantic, the record for the "Europe — America" distance, as well as special pools on the number of marathons participants will run in the first year.
Ecologists and engineers are cautious in their assessments for now, but the company is confident that modern technologies allow the project to be implemented without harming the ocean. "It will not just be a tunnel. It will be a new symbol of unity. Imagine: in the morning you're in Paris, and by evening you're finishing at Times Square, having run under the ocean," share the authors of the idea.
Jokers in the sports community have already dubbed the future facility "Bettlantica" and suggest introducing special virtual bets on "who will be the first to run to America without stopping."
If the project gets the green light, the world might gain not only a grand engineering structure but also a new global sports phenomenon. And 1XBET will once again prove: betting is not only about the result but also about creating opportunities for new achievements.
We just need to wait for the official announcement and start saving for sneakers with good cushioning. The Atlantic awaits its heroes.
