femaleA glorious phenomenon, Simon Biles, last week saw a double-fliping double backflip and a two-flips-two-twist off the beam during floor exercises. The winning routine won the fifth worldwide gymnastics title last week. She did something barely acceptable in the human eye, but never missed what she was doing.
All her movements and her 546 rival's movements were captured by a three-dimensional laser sensor hidden inside a box placed around the floor of Stuttgart Stadium. Developed by Fujitsu, the system centers on artificial intelligence systems. Body measurements are taken from a competitor in the case of a few rejected by Stuttgart using the standard template, then tracked movements for position, angle, and speed, processed immediately, and graphically passed to the competition referee as follows: Clear real-time analysis of all performance.
If you think so, it will solve everything. No more Eurovision style complaints about Belarusian judges favor Russian competitors. No longer do Chinese teams have to show American teams or vice versa. In theory at least.
Indeed, the system, which could be used at the Tokyo Olympics next year, will certainly improve the judge's ability to accurately assess. It will be a convenient training tool for coaches and an additional source of information and entertainment for the audience. But the Italian gymnastic coach told the New York Times: “The computer can't understand the artistry. [or] The feeling of movement you make. I can see every angle better than a judge, but the artistic side is impossible. ”
But in sports where artistry is not considered, the future seems to be highlighted and laser-induced. When Eliud Kipchoge finished 2 hours on the marathon, the speed can be adjusted in 0.1 km / h increments through a throttle with an eye attached to the green laser line that illuminates Vienna's road surface in the SUV.
The admiration of Kipchoge's $ 1 million grand achievement was slightly damaged by information that was not yet approved by government agencies because he was wearing Nike's Vaporfly running shoes. Like other aspects of his running, such as using roll-in and rollout pacemakers, it became clear that his achievements belonged to the field of science-assisted human performance, not sports. It is entirely up to you to feel about the value of such performance when completely separated from the rules-based competition area.
However, while Wales' backrest tried to score in a rugby World Cup full match against Kumamoto Uruguay, the laser sensor would have been very useful for proper sports on Sunday. After all, this breach of the game's most basic rules did not cost you the victory and the quarterfinals, but was careless and frustrating. Coaches aren't surprised because it takes some time after persuading them to align their line of attack more flatly to find gaps due to greater stamina and more advanced tactical thinking or to get closer to the opponent's defenses as soon as possible.
A debate over what could be moving forward among fast-running players a few years ago with all the brave but not decisive attempts at scientific analysis. Video referees meant that the infringement was easier to find, but like football's VAR, he was reluctant to blow the whistle, tending to gain the knowledge that the stadium's referees would relieve him by offering technology. Final judgment.
Hannam Amos did not allow one-third of the touchdown while playing five minutes on Sunday. The first two were crescent for the forward pass after being referred to the TMO. The third was not allowed due to the ability to actually jump into the corner and not hold the ball. In fact, the forward pass before his final dash should not have already been allowed. But it was never considered. Strangely, Angus Gardner asked the TMO to rule on the second violation, not the first.
Sometime international rugby players are measured in the same way as Stuttgart gymnasts and are tracked in real time by laser sensors placed along the touch line. The ball is also tracked, and the TMO can be seen without seeing the naked eye when passing from one hand to the other. If nothing else, it will speed up the process, which can get wildly lost and doesn't always provide an incontroverting verdict. And what kind of red button options allow viewers at home to decide what they want to see matching with the laser cup and other data. American Cup Course and Wind Overlay Telecast – or Oh nature.
Everyone has a reader who wants an accurate decision and wants a more detailed analysis. However, after choosing this path that affects television, we do not know where the journey will end or how it will affect the debate that makes uncertainty, wonder, excitement and sports more than just statistics. But as long as Simone Bille is there, the wonder and vitality are guaranteed.
