In the first series, sports presenter, John Inverdale and sports entrepreneur, Rebecca Hopkins, take a look at how technology has shaped modern sport. They talk to experts in all walks of sport as well as champion athletes, including Sir Ben Ainslie and Chris Boardman.

Tech Chairs - The Sports Technology Podcast
Athlete Genetic Mapping with Andrew Steele
This episode of Tech Chairs takes us into the DNA of elite athletes – literally! Rebecca and John hear Andy Steele’s story. Andy was an Olympic athlete who wanted to know why he could run fast but kept getting injured. A random test took his career – and how elite stars train – in a whole new direction courtesy of DNA-fit. So, is being a world-beater all in the genes? This week’s Tech Chairs reveals all.
Sports technology is the single biggest force shaping sport and if you want to know how we got to this point, listen to How Tech Snuck Up on Sport. Alternatively, share in another Olympian’s sports tech story and listen to Ben Ainslie’s episode. You can subscribe to Tech Chairs or sign up for Access Innovation, our fortnightly newsletter.
