How does Australia, a nation of just 26 million, consistently dominate Olympic swimming?
In this episode of Emerging Tech Unpacked, host Lucy Lin sits down with Jess Corones, General Manager of Performance Support and Olympic Campaign at Swimming Australia, to reveal the tech and teamwork powering Australia’s swimming success.
Discover the latest innovations - from AI-driven computer vision and wearables in training, to real-time race analysis and cloud-powered decision-making on competition day. Jess shares exclusive insights on how technology is shaping elite athlete preparation, the culture of high performance, and what really happens behind the scenes at the Olympics (including life in the Olympic Village and those famous cardboard beds!).
Whether you’re a sports fan, tech enthusiast, or just love the Olympics, you’ll learn how leadership, culture, and cutting-edge tech combine to keep Australia at the top of the podium.
