Gach bliadhna tha l霉th-chleasaichean a' cur ri cl脿ran na cruinne ach a bheil seo a' ciallachadh gu bheil iad nas fhe脿rr na l霉th-chleasaichean nan l脿ithean a dh'fhalbh? Tha an neach-saidheans sp貌rs Steve Haake a' rannsachadh a' ch霉is. Anns a' phr貌gram seo, tha gach neach a' sealltainn mar a tha tr猫anadh agus uidheamachd an l脿 an-diugh gan cuideachadh mus t猫id iad a dh' fharpais an aghaidh l霉th-chleasaiche ainmeil a tha a' cleachdadh seann dh貌ighean. Tha an neach-ruith Andre De Grasse a' dol an aghaidh a' ghaisgich, Jesse Owen, a' cleachdadh na h-aon se貌rsa bhr貌gan a bhiodh air agus slighe-r猫isidh bho na 1930an. Tha an Sleaghadair Christina Obergf枚ll a' farpais an aghaidh Fatima Whitbread, a' cleachdadh sleagh bho na 80an. Agus, tha an caidheagair Adam van Koeverden a' cur an caidheag gleansach aige air falbh 's a' cleachdadh seann modail fiodh na 脿ite airson a dhol an aghaidh an laoich, Gert Fredriksson, a bha aithnichte sna 40an. Tha gach farpais a toirt dhuinn toraidhean a tha gu math inntinneach.

Every year, top athletes set new world records - but are they really better than those of the past? Top sports scientist Steve Haake sets off on a journey to find out. Each athlete demonstrates how their modern training and equipment enhances their performance, before competing against a legendary athlete using old-school methods.

Sprinter Andre De Grasse attempts to beat the legendary Jesse Owens while wearing replicas of his shoes and running on a 30s-era track. Javelin thrower Christina Obergf枚ll competes against 80s Fatima Whitbread using a javelin from her era. And kayaker Adam van Koeverden moves from his computer-designed carbon-fibre kayak to a vintage wooden model to challenge 40s legend Gert Fredriksson. Each experimental matchup has a surprising result.
