I love studies that attempt to tease out the effects of technological help from the purely innate ability of athletes from different eras.  Baseball is ripe for lots of these.

Aside: It may be that what I hate about the Olympics is simply NBC's amazingly crappy coverage.  For 2018, I may try to find a way to VPN into the UK and stream the Beeb.
