Topics
Malcolm Gladwell: 本期节目收录了普希金旗下多个播客节目关于奥运会的精彩故事片段，展现了对奥运故事的独特视角。节目涵盖了对女性马拉松运动员的误解、杰西·欧文斯在纳粹奥运会上的经历以及科技如何帮助奥运运动员提升实力等主题。 Tim Harford: 早期马拉松比赛中，对女性运动员能力的严重低估导致了不公平的待遇和规则制定。以凯瑟琳·斯威泽和罗伯塔·吉布的经历为例，她们打破了马拉松比赛的性别禁锢，挑战了当时的社会偏见。 Sylvia Blemker: 通过结合MRI扫描和人工智能技术，可以对运动员肌肉进行详细分析，从而帮助他们提高训练效果，保持健康。这项技术可以帮助教练更好地了解运动员的身体状况，制定更有效的训练计划，并帮助运动员避免受伤。 Ben-Nadav Hafri: 杰西·欧文斯在1936年柏林奥运会上取得的成功，与其在跳远预赛中的关键时刻以及与德国运动员卢茨·朗的友谊密不可分。卢茨·朗在关键时刻对欧文斯的帮助，以及两人超越种族和政治隔阂的友谊，是奥运精神的体现。

Legends are made at the Olympics and this summer shows across the Pushkin network are bringing their unique takes to Olympic stories. This special episode includes excerpts from a few: a Cautionary Tale about underestimating female marathoners, a Jesse Owens story from Revisionist History’s series on Hitler’s Olympics, and—from What’s Your Problem—the new technology that’s helping Olympic athletes get stronger.

Check out other show feeds as well, the Happiness Lab and A Slight Change of Plans are also going to the Games.
