The Equalizer - Na Geamannan Co-ionnan
Lùth-chleasaichean a' farpais le seann dhòighean. Documentary in which athletes compare current and old-school training methods to compare the effects on performance.
Gach bliadhna tha lùth-chleasaichean a' cur ri clà ran na cruinne ach a bheil seo a' ciallachadh gu bheil iad nas fheà rr na lùth-chleasaichean nan là ithean a dh'fhalbh? Tha an neach-saidheans spòrs Steve Haake a' rannsachadh a' chùis. Anns a' phrògram seo, tha gach neach a' sealltainn mar a tha trèanadh agus uidheamachd an là an-diugh gan cuideachadh mus tèid iad a dh' fharpais an aghaidh lùth-chleasaiche ainmeil a tha a' cleachdadh seann dhòighean. Tha an neach-ruith Andre De Grasse a' dol an aghaidh a' ghaisgich, Jesse Owen, a' cleachdadh na h-aon seòrsa bhrògan a bhiodh air agus slighe-rèisidh bho na 1930an. Tha an Sleaghadair Christina Obergföll 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 à 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 Obergföll 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.
