How This Shoe Came Close to Being Banned by the Olympics

There’s a lot of innovative sports gear that’s been prohibited because it gives athletes an unfair edge. For example, swimsuits that make swimmers glide more efficiently, gloves that boost a receiver’s grip, bats that allow for more powerful hits, and shoes that make runners faster than ever before.

This practice is called “TECH DOPING”—using advanced gear to get an unfair upper hand. In this video, I’ll walk you through the banned equipment you won’t be seeing at the Paris Olympics and the cutting-edge tech that’s pushing the boundaries of what’s still allowed.

You might be thinking, “Wait, shouldn’t athletes be on an even playing field with no equipment advantages?” But let’s be real—we’re not running barefoot or swimming without suits anymore. Technology is woven into sports, constantly evolving, and expanding the limits of what athletes can achieve.
