– The guys swing their lives with their sticks and try to find the right downplay.
This is how Iltalehti’s athletics expert was outlined Arto Bryggare In the 2021 Summer Olympics, the reel throwing.
Now a change is coming. The measurement of the measurement of sledgehammer, spear and disc throw is being changed.
In Tokyo, the International Athletics Association’s World Athletics (WA) board was reported in Tokyo Antti Pihlakoski.
Virtual scale
The aim of the WA is that the new method of measurement has been tested and used next year at the Ultimate Championship. The Games will be held in Budepest in September.
The gauge and women are in the top of the top races.
– With current technology, results can be obtained quickly. We can make the field a virtual scale, Pihlakoski said.
Systems that utilize high -speed cameras have been visibly used in tennis and football for years. In these species, technology checks whether the ball has been over or not. The most famous brand in this technology is Hawk-Eye Innovations.
WA has not decided who will make its measurements with new technology in the future.

Faster
Iltalehti’s expert Bryggare once criticized the accuracy of the hikers and women.
According to Pihlakoski, the essential thing is that field species measurements are accelerated. Pihlakoski says he has fallen with the Wa innovation director at the Kaleva Games that it took 51 seconds for the “administrative” action of the long jump.
According to Pihlakoski, for example, a disc and long jump should have their own protocols, but the basic principle is the same: the best performances are desired on TV and faster than measurement.
Thus, the change in measurement method is part of a larger entity that aims to improve the supply of athletics to viewers.
– We could think in advance who are the top four throws, put them in a row, take them live on TV and then go for a run, Pihlakoski wondered.
Storytelling
The challenge in athletics is how all the species can be served to viewers in an interesting package. For example, the popularity of 100 meters and sledgehammer among viewers is like night and day.
Pihlakoski says that WA’s philosophy is “all the best performances live”.
“Storytelling improves when administrative time can be reduced,” he said.
Pihlakoski, a Master of Science (MSc) in Production, thinks that all work that does not add value but creates costs is unnecessary work.
According to Pihlakoski, even in new technology, the measurement should be doubled, but the result could still be hit immediately. If the result changes in the check, it could later be clearly stated that the result changed in the check.
– Not all of this is done because the sport is quickly over, but that we can schedule the broadcasts better. More field species could be shown.
