It is fully recognized by all sport enthusiasts that timekeeping plays a major role in the hype surrounding an athletics competition. Without the ability to measure times and distances that separate the winner from the runners-up, competition as we know it would be inconceivable. Timing is definitely a key component allowing to measure World and Olympic records
Swiss Timing and Athletics
Athletics is unique among competitive sports: up to seven different events can take place at the same time on a single field of play. Swiss Timing’s unparalleled experience allows it to meet this challenge and to deliver timely, precise results at each of the events. With partner brand OMEGA, Swiss Timing has developed a large part of the state-of-the-art sports timing and measurement technology used at the Olympic Games and other leading athletic events.
The challenges of athletics timekeeping are enormous: measurements have to be taken and recorded of athletes’ times around the track, distances jumped and thrown, wind velocity and direction, and much more. Outside the stadium, road races have to be managed that may take in an entire city and even the area around it.
Swiss Timing has long been committed to the design and implementation of exciting new technologies that facilitate the task of officials, increase the accuracy of the results, and satisfy the media and public desire for faster, more detailed result posting.
