Connecting Remote Athletes

After the Olympics and Paralympics there was debate about the impact of financial investment in sport and how it relates to success of an athlete/team and questioned how the small nations can be competitive.

It is very difficult to raise the bar training alone and without regular access to competition. Being surrounded by like-minded athletes with comparative ability helps progression.

The design proposal is to connect remote athletes, providing the smaller nations and lesser-developed sports access to compete and raise their game, providing opportunity to those who want to compete/train as a team but cannot due to financial, cultural or visa restrictions.

Weightlifting is one of the sports with a competition format which lends itself to competing across nations (as illustrated). A remote athlete base is issued with a technology and overlay pack to enable them to set up their own venue, which can be connected to a network of venues.

Much of elite level sport is based around structured; individual based measurable training, carried out in a space with basic equipment. The technology could be adapted to suit various sports and training methods to expand the remote athlete network.

At a relatively small cost and in collaboration with Sport Federations, Remote Athlete Network venues can be established.
