A gold medal in the Olympics can come down to milliseconds. So it is important to be able to prepare for the games as much as possible without the obstacles of injuries and illnesses taking away precious training time.

By using emerging technology and creative data analysis to track the day-to-day training of athletes, the coaches are able to manage peak performances and predict the drawbacks.
