The innovative solution offers a new approach to the problem of capturing athlete information in a deep water finish situation:
Athletes wear a paper thin disposable chip on their heads, stuck to the swim cap.
To ‘cross’ the line the athlete simply swims through the finish line gantry.
No need to touch anything
No need to carry an awkward wrist mounted chip.
No need to recover chips at the finish line
