The Big Question: "How come in some sports we wear helmets and some we don't?"
Synopsis: Harrison takes an in-depth look at sports - from the precise designs of the various balls, to the specialty clothing, to the importance of practice. There's a lot of science in sports; Harrison finds out how even cheering for your favourite team is good for you!
My Great Challenge: Who has the fastest slap shot? Harrison uses a radar gun to find out which Challenger has the best wind-up!
In the Field: Harrison tests his abilities to find out if he can throw like a professional pitcher, run faster than an Olympian and if he's got what it takes to race in a wheelchair.
