In partnership with Omega, the official chronometer of the Olympics, OBS should also provide advanced data on competitors. This information will be generated by artificial intelligence and will help better understand each athlete’s performance.

Another partner of the image creator will be Intel. In this study, artificial intelligence solutions will be introduced Details about the most promising athletes We strengthen performance analysis programs by participating in disputes in the French capital.
