Olympia 2026: Mit dem wohl schnellsten Renndress zur Goldmedaille? | Einstein | SRF Wissen

At Odermatt and Co., everything is optimized for speed in the Olympic ski suits – right down to the color. "Einstein" gets a glimpse into the secret tinkering at Swiss Ski and tests different colored suits in the wind tunnel. He shows how science is fighting for gold at the Olympic Games. 🔔 Subscribe to SRF Wissen on YouTube now 👉    / @srfwissen   ⏰ A new episode of "Einstein" every Thursday at 5:30 pm More about the video ––––––––––––––––––––––––– How do you design the best racing suit for the Olympics? Tobias Müller wants to find out and immediately steps into the scanner himself. Then he goes into the wind tunnel – once in dark blue and once in all white. Which color is more aerodynamic and why? What do the ski stars think of the suit design process? And how big is the difference between a racing suit and regular ski clothing? Einstein on the trail of those potentially decisive hundredths of a second. Every gate counts: The new "gate-to-gate analysis" in use at the Wengen slalom When bib number one is at the top, the technical team of @SwissSkiTeam is also ready 70 kilometers further south in the Command Center. Every run is analyzed gate by gate – this allows all skiers' runs to be compared with the best time immediately after the first run. The engineers glean valuable tips from this data, which they transmit to the racecourse via mobile phone. And these tips could potentially lead to a medal or even victory. Nutrition: Central to women's ice hockey The women's national team is being groomed for the Olympics with body analysis and nutrition plans. And surprisingly, around half of the athletes aren't eating incorrectly, but rather too little. This can lead to the athlete energy deficit RED-S, which affects both bodily functions and mental well-being.

Will ski mountaineer Jon Kistler win a medal thanks to baking soda?* Since the summer, mountaineer Jon Kistler has been experimenting with the supplement bicarbonate – better known as baking soda. It helps with muscle acidosis, but can also lead to diarrhea and vomiting. Kistler wants to perfect his use of bicarbonate – and thus win a medal at the Olympic Games. 👀 Watch now: 00:00 Introduction 00:57 Swiss-Ski tests racing suits in the wind tunnel 04:49 Flashback: Ski suits of yesteryear 06:39 The white suit put to the test 07:44 Nutrition in elite sports: Ski mountaineering sprinters and ice hockey 12:55 Why do our muscles become acidic? 16:33 The Blue Suit Put to the Test 18:51 Determining Bicarbonate 22:27 Lauberhorn Race: Franjo von Allmen, Marco Odermatt, and Stefan Rogentin 24:45 Swiss-Ski 30:49 The Olympic Ski Suit Put to the Test ________________________ ◾ Director: Andrea Fischli-Roth ◾ Editor: Andrea Fischli-Roth ◾ Host: Tobias Müller © 2026 SRF ________________________ This is Einstein: We tell stories that inform, educate, and entertain.
