How Tech Snuck Up on Sport (Part Two)
03/30/23 • 19 min
This is part two of our brief history of the relationship between sport and technology. In this show we look at the tech-led revolution of the past two decades, as data, new realities and wearable tech shapes how we train, view and engage with the sports we love.
Rebecca and John talk to experts Andy Harland, Naomi Stenhouse, Andy Miah and Ben Langdown, who guide us through these recent changes. And if you thought Mohammed Ali, Michael Jordan or Lionel Messi was sports’ GOAT (greatest of all time) you’ll want to hear why we might disagree.
