From gymnast-tracking to pole vault measurements mid-jump, the watch brand’s Swiss Timing division has a whole host of new timing tech for Paris 2024.
On August 27, 1960, at the Olympics in Rome, one of the most controversial gold medals was awarded. At the 100-meter freestyle men’s swimming event, Australian swimmer John Devitt and American Lance Larson both recorded the same finish time of 55.2 seconds. Only Devitt walked away with the gold medal. The way swimming was timed was by using three timers per lane, all with stopwatches, from which an average was taken.
Now Swiss Timing has what it simply calls “computer vision”: single or multi-camera systems that feed images into AI models specifically trained for each sport to create fully realistic bodies . As an example, Zobrist shows videos of these AI-generated bodies spinning in a perfect dive, performing gymnastic twists and turns.
