WITH THE INSANEÂ amount of advanced technology and complex data analysis available these days it’s only natural that the world’s greatest athletes use them to optimise their performance.
US Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones is using a very complex system involving motion capture, high-speed cameras and 3-D rendering to be at her best during this year’s summer games.
On top of striving for a gold medal next month, Lolo desperately wants to avoid another terrible setback.
She  was in the lead in the final of the 100-metre hurdles at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 when she hit the ninth of 10 hurdles, lost her balance and finished a very disappointing seventh.
