#Ex2.5 Video Summary - Are athletes really getting faster, better, stronger

David Epstein:


When you come to look at the achievements of the athletes in sporting ove the last decades, it seems like humans have gotten faster, stronger, and better in an absolutely fascinating and obvious way. For example, let us go back in time, in 1936, Jesse Owens held the world record in the 100 meters. Had Jesse Owens been racing 2 years ago in the world championships of the 100 meters, when Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt finished, Owens would have still had 14 feet to go! If you come to think about it, over the years with all the changing of technology, genes and the changing of mindset had came only to show us and to get us to understand what the human body is truly capable of, and to get that you will have to test your limits. Develop more, in technology, mindset and every humanely possible way.
