Synopsis
Every year multiple records are broken by new generation of athletes and, according to the numbers, elite athletic performance is continually improving. However, are today’s competitors actually better athletes than their predecessors, or are there other forces at play? We challenge an elite line-up of winter athletes to compete against the legends of five winter sports in the gear of the past: Christine Nesbitt – Speed Skating, Max Arndt and Alex Rodiger – bobsled, Manuel Feller – downhill skiing, Anna Schaffelhuber – sit-skiing, Shea Weber and Carter Hart – hockey.
