Faster. Higher. Stronger. From Australian sprint stars Lachlan Kennedy and Torrie Lewis to record-breaking swimmers and sports stars, athletes keep pushing beyond what once seemed humanly possible.
But surely we can’t keep getting faster, higher and stronger forever… can we?
In this Squiz Kids Science Short, Christie investigates why world records keep tumbling, how training and technology help athletes improve, and whether our brains sometimes apply the brakes before our bodies have truly reached their limit. Plus, could you become a world-record holder simply by pulling enough socks onto one foot?
Will humans eventually reach the finish line of human ability? Let’s find out!
