Will America's PBS pony-up with its own edition?
The race, to be shown as part of the educational Lab Rats series, will pit the sperm of presenters Dr Mike Leahy and Zeron Gibson against each other.
It will be filmed inside two tiny glass tubes by a microscope and relayed to a crowd watching a pub's big screen.
