Tech-Enhanced Olympians

Wired Magazine reports on how “swimmers, cyclists and even gymnasts making the most of tech — and legal — performance enhancements” [via Wired.com]:

In order to make perfect strokes during training, the U.S. crew team members watch their progress on a VR-style goggle set that receives a live feed of their movements as they row.

Once the race starts, however, they’ll ditch the glasses.
