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.
What are these super shoes called
Unfortunately the glasses enhancing eye-sight example is a bad example to make an argument with. Consistency makes the shooter better at shooting. Better eye-sight does not. Comparing that to a mechanical advantage from shoes or prosthetic legs is not a valid argument. I'm sure there are lots of other examples to choose from.
Great insight on running shoe mechanics! Very interested in this.
I think it would be cool to see an Olympic category where there are no limits on tech used, would be cool to see max capabilities aided by tech
Nike alphafly.
it's not a problem in motor racing
The sports equipment issue reminds me of the mobile games . Those top players on the list are always the players who top up the most amount of money and win most of the games…
Either spend lots and lots of money and win the game easily by getting all the high expensive gadgets or equipment, or spend time,more and more time endlessly, tirelessly, only to be in a position that's high enough for the remaining players who are equally the same as you that play the games who don't top up the money, but will forever be in a position lower than the players who spend lots of money on the equipment just to win.
For NYC Marathon, using any kind of music via headphones/earbuds is banned. Music enhances performance, and is considered “cheating.”
Great show. Glad I found your channel. Cute girl, great content, great energy. Length of vids is great, too.
Great show. Glad I found your channel.
me watching this video running barefooted during martial arts 😂
As Olympics committee is opposing most of the tech in sports, I suggest – like "para Olympics" – let's start one "tech Olympic" where every new tech can be tested. Blade running will not be banned.
