Olympic Games

At the ancient Olympics, the Greeks practiced the long jump. But no one really knew
how long they jumped. Comparison of performances from one competition to the next was
impossible; they were mostly religious and ritualistic events.
A few millennia later, modern sport made its debut, characterized by precise
quantification of distance and time. The machine age began an era of standardization in sport,
which rules and regulations, scoring systems and sophisticated equipment.
Today, to provide the elite athlete, scientists and technologists are trying to define
athletic performance as a set of physical parameters, biological processes and mental states.
Given the best training and the best equipments, how fast can an athlete run? Sports
scientists and coaches fight with this question on a daily basis. On one hand, it is clear that
there is some limit to human performance. On the other hand, most people who are examining
human performance are astonished by powers of the human body.
