  1. THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY IN SPORTS By:Kim

  2. On Olympics Sports

  3. Speedo LZR Racer Swimsuit • Uses a woven elastane-nylon and polyurethane material that's said to hold the body in a more hydrodynamic position, while expelling water and allowing for improved oxygen flow to the muscles. • Since the suit was in the store many swimmers had bought it and broke records by using the Speedo LZR Racer Swimsuit • It’s for swimming

  4. Addidas Adistar Rowing Shoes • A blogger thought that when you row you only use upper body strength but actually the leg power is equally used. So addidas created these shoes to transfer all of that power into moving the scull • designed to provide a more direct transfer of power. It also has a so-called "speed heel" with built-in ventilation that's designed to keep the feet at the right temperature • It’s for rowing

  5. Doppler Lidar • It’s for sailing • using a Doppler Lidar system, which scans the surface of the course with laser beams and measures beam scatter to provide a real-time readout of wind speed and direction over a large area. • It helps them for the direction

  6. Morini CM 162 EI Air Pistol • It’s for Air Pistol and Pentathlon • It has a switch that operates a battery-powered microchip-controlled firing mechanism. • Two AAA batteries provide enough juice for 15,000 shots, with a pulsating red LED to indicate battery condition

  7. Nike Precool Vest • It’s for the tempature • With daily high temperatures expected to average around 85 degrees Fahrenheit, keeping cool is going to be a major consideration for many athletes • holds a bunch of prefrozen ice packs, similar to those blue ice packs you put in a cooler to keep your drinks cold • athlete wears the frozen vest for about an hour prior to the start of competition, reducing his core temperature enough so the body won't be wasting energy trying to keep cool

  8. Gill Athletics OTE Composite FX Carbon/Aluminum Javelin • It’s for Javelin • adding carbon fiber can greatly reduce vibration and wobble, allowing for a straighter flight with less wind resistance.

  9. Nike Ippeas Riding Boots • It’s for Equestrian {like riding} • It’s comfortable • added a long zipper that eases the chore of taking them off • added a special high-abrasion rubber on the medial (horse) side of the boot, to give the rider added control and stability in jumps • replaced those clunky strap-on spurs with a height-adjustable screw in titanium stud

  10. Mizuno Frenzy 120 RB500 Carbon-Fiber Bat • It’s for softball • Having a larger sweet spot with greater driving power so it can give a Home Run and Out so hopefully a Home Run

  11. Nike Aerographics Jersey • It’s for basketball • designs into key areas of the garment, they can increase airflow over the skin, while reducing the overall weight by 31 percent • increasing airflow and reducing sweating • stop the athlete from wasting energy trying to keep cool • Reducing the weight should also allow them to jump just that teeny bit higher.

  12. Adidas Lone Star Shoes • It’s for running • left foot is used primarily for stabilization, while the right foot delivers more of the power. From that information they were able to develop an asymmetric pair of spikes tailored to the strengths of each foot. • making his feet more stable through the bends, Jeremy {famous runner} should be able to apply more energy towards moving faster, rather than trying to stay in his lane
