Olympic Games-changing technology
How Wonderful is that?
Here at Intel, we believe in going for it.
After all, we pioneered Silicon Valley—and we’ve been powering innovation with technology ever since. That’s the passion we bring to our mission of enhancing the Olympic and Paralympic Games experience.
As we look toward Paris 2024, we’re excited to use new technologies to bring deeper levels of connectivity and interaction to Olympic and Paralympic fans around the world.
The future of the Olympic and Paralympic Games is here.
We use our latest technology and processors to power platforms that create better, more immersive experiences—so the world can come together in new ways to feel the Olympic spirit. Check out these four examples of Intel tech in action at the Olympic and Paralympic Games:
How British Curling embraces data
British Curling has developed a sophisticated predictive model, enabling coaches to analyze game states and base strategic decisions on historical data to support training. The whole performance analysis workflow relies on laptops, tablets, and an online performance databank powered by the latest Intel® Core™ and Intel® Xeon® processor technologies.
Why British Swimming trains smarter
Performance data analysis, powered by Intel® Xeon® processors, plays a crucial role in coaching and preparing the team for competition. It starts with a data gathering and processing system leveraged by British Swimming. Visualizing previously invisible metrics enable smarter decisions, as well as new ideas and theories for better performance.
How we support Olympic & Paralympic athletes
We are proud to do our part to support athletes. That’s why we support the Olympic Games’ Athlete365 program that provides services like the Intel Mentoring Program to more than 50,000 athletes. Keep reading to learn more.
Meet Lex Gillette
Lex’s five-time Paralympic medalist long jumping career—including 5 silver medals with the most recent earned at the Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020—launched him into a new career path at Intel helping bring technology solutions to the visually impaired. Lex initially enrolled in Intel’s Athlete 365 Mentoring Program, where he was paired with an Intel employee for mentorship, and Intel quickly realized Lex could be a valuable asset to the workforce. Now, as an Intel employee, Lex is helping drive Intel’s Wayfinding Technology advancements through AI solutions, camera-based mapping and spatial binaural audio technologies helping visually impaired people navigate via GPS indoors.
Meet Ashton Eaton
Ashton puts his athletic perspective—he’s a two-time Olympic gold medalist in the decathlon from the Olympic Games of London 2012 and Rio 2016—to work on the 3D Athlete Tracking (3DAT) team at Intel. They video athletes in action and use artificial intelligence and computer vision to analyze their movement to guide athletic technique and improve performance in training.
Where There’s Wonderful, There’s Intel
We’re proud to partner with the Olympic and Paralympic Games—an event synonymous with best-in-class performance that brings the world together. Explore Intel’s activations at Beijing 2022, from 5G Broadcast to the Venue Simulation System and 8K Virtual Reality powered by Intel technology, in this e-book.
