27、

Chinese athletes did a great job at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, winning 88 medals in total. But did you know that there are many cool technologies behind their success?

Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter, reached an Olympic 100m final. With the help of scientific training, he made his breakthrough. “It takes Su 47 steps to run 100 meters. Each step counts,” Liang Dong, a member of Su’s training team, told Shenzhen Evening News. “Randy Huntington, Su’s American coach and a biomechanics (生物力学) expert in track and field, has collected a lot of data (数据) on outstanding sprinters and built a database. He put in all of Su’s data and got a near-optimal (接近最优的) model. When Su is training, the team uses high-speed cameras to record his training and compares it with the model to find out his weaknesses.”

Technology has also brought a new improvement to table tennis. On July 27, the semifinal match between China’s Sun Yingsha and Japan’s Mimaito was in full swing (正在全力进行) at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. You wouldn’t have guessed that besides players, judges and audiences, a powerful AI platform was watching the match.

Every serve, swing and movement of Mimaito was caught by this AI cloud platform set in Tokyo. At an average speed of 100 Mbps, the data was sent to the technical team of the Zhejiang University Table Tennis Intelligent Big Data Analysis Platform, 2, 442 kilometers away from the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, according to The Paper.

The platform has stored the data of more than 8, 000 matches so far. The research team has been working on match simulation (模拟) since 2018. “Using big data and AI, we can correctly simulate and predict how the winning rate will change when players change certain tactics (策略),” Professor Wu Yingcai, the main developer of the platform, told CCTV-2.

The Tokyo Olympic Games have seen not only scientific support in training, but many cutting-edge technologies in athletes’ devices (设备). For example, the Kenya women’s volleyball team’s GPS devices fed data on each player’s strength, heart rate and so on to coaches, who used the information to prevent injury (受伤) and personalize training plans for each individual, South China Morning Post reported.

【1】What helped Su Bingtian a lot to make his breakthrough?

A．His scientific training.

B．Support from his family.

C．His coach’s encouragement.

D．Support from other sprinters.

【2】What’s the advantage of match simulation according to Professor Wu Yingcai?

A．Players can study other players’ tactics.

B．Players can know their own weaknesses.

C．It helps players improve their winning rate.

D．It helps judges make the correct judgement.

【3】The GPS devices can help coaches ________.

A．quickly find out players’ information

B．give proper treatment for sports injuries

C．make better decisions for future training

D．follow players’ movement during the game

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The success of the Tokyo Olympics.

B．The advantages of using AI at the Tokyo Olympics.

C．The ways athletes prepared for the Tokyo Olympics.

D．Technologies that helped athletes at the Tokyo Olympics.
