Hi there,
If, like many of us, you’ve been sneaking a peak at the Olympics action whenever you can, you will have seen the souped-up performance analytics and snazzy 3D footage.
The Olympics have long been a showcase of the latest technology alongside the greatest sporting prowess. With winning times coming down to a mere six-hundredths of a second in races like this year’s 100m men’s freestyle, its use is crucial for determining the winner – and everything that rides on the result.
But this XXXII Olympiad has seen tech come to the fore like never before. From biometrics to multi camera replay systems and 3D athlete tracking, we're being immersed in tech more than ever before, in real time, both on-screen and behind the scenes across the event.
We take a look at some of the tech that is making 2021's Tokyo 2020 Games tick.
Enjoy the read,
