In this episode, I speak with Dr Bryce Dyer to understand the role technology plays in Parasport performance.

We consider how technology has developed from crude pieces of technology to sophisticated, state of the art equipment. The disparity in technology between richer and poorer nations is appraised, including how this impacts their Paralympic performance. We discuss, at length, the cases of Markus Rehm and Oscar Pistorius, evaluating the role and influence of technology on their performances. Finally, Dr Dyer explains what gold standard technology in Parasport means to him.

Listen to this episode if you want to get a detailed insight about the role and importance of technology in Parasport.
