Since the first Olympic Games, 2600 years ago, the goal of athletes has been to win; however, methods of winning have changed. This program shows three contributions of modern science to the feats of athletes: sports psychology, which uses various psychological techniques, such as autosuggestion, rituals, mental imagery, and relaxation, that enable athletes to extend their physical limits; better health through more careful training, with adequate periods of rest and recuperation; and genetics, which can lead to the pre-selection of athletes who are genetically likely to be winners.
