The documentary 'Project Gold' sets out to find the engineers, scientists and coaches preparing for the Olympic Games in Brazil. It takes a critical but humorous look at the interfaces within top-level sport: What is the limit of human performance? Where does sport end and the battle of equipment begin? Perfect athletes can evidently be crafted, and this applies equally to the matching equipment and arenas. The venues in London were created in such a way to ensure that new records were facilitated, perhaps even inevitable. There is practically no wind in the cauldron of the Olympic Stadium, while the velodrome tracks were heated and the swimming pool in the Aquatics Centre was the fastest in Olympic history. There were nine world records, even without the notorious swimsuits!The next Olympic Games will be held in Rio in 2016. It will see the construction of new stadia and new tracks that whenever possible will be even faster and better. After all, for long time the perfect equipment has been a decisive factor in breaking records and achieving that Olympic gold.We want to know: How fast is the world's fastest man really? And how fast would Jesse Owens have been in 1936 if he had not run on ash and had used Usain Bolt's training methods and shoes? This international blue chip production provides a fascinating look behind the scenes of the merciless battle between equipment outfitters and sports scientists that have just one goal: to achieve the last hundredth of a second, the last centimetre, that decisive competitive edge in 'Project Gold'.The primetime documentary is designed as an international co-production, including the additional option of exploitation in short segments to complement Olympic coverage. Its immense visual brilliance and a breathtaking look, otherwise seen only in cinemas, make each second a joy to watch; providing the participating broadcasters with a veritable programme highlight.
