Der wahre Champion: Siegen mit Hightech (2015)

Five athletes compete against the legendary champions of yesterday in the conditions of the time. Canadian world champion and world record holder Adam van Koeverden swaps his carbon kayak for a wooden paddle boat from the 1950s. Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse runs the 100 meters on a track similar to the one in 1936, wearing vintage shoes. How does German swimmer Paul Biedermann manage without his state-of-the-art wet-suit or American track cycling champion Sarah Hammer without her carbon bike? German javelin thrower Christina Obergföll is trying to emulate the performance of her elder sister, Britain's Fatima Whitbread, who broke the world record in 1987.
