The Aussie dolphins have also been ones to watch, with 10 medals between them thus far. Their secret weapon is Sparta-2, a swimming analysis system that uses a cutting-edge 4K camera and custom software to provide real-time data and track strokes in the pool. Built in partnership with Swimming Australia, it’s the envy of the swimming world.

For our cyclists, AIS Engineering developed customised 3D-printed aluminium stem adapters to achieve optimised handlebar extension geometry for aerodynamic drag reduction for the track endurance team.

Australia’s Rowsellas received support to enhance the team’s equipment, while Australia’s sailing coaches worked with the AIS to develop analytics platforms to gain performance feedback ahead of the games.

Athletics athletes have also been using technology to improve performance, particularly javelin throwers and coaches who utilise the AIS-developed app ThrowCoach, which captures the javelin throw in slow motion with reference markers, including the angle of trajectory, for performance analysis.

And the support doesn’t stop there. While the Games are on, performance analysts from across the nation are working around the clock at the AIS, collecting video and analysing footage to provide critical insights to our teams in Paris.
