CYG in sync with latest global technology, Beijing Olympics Equipment Finds Its Way Into CityBy Dr arvind, Section Commonwealth Youth Games 2008
The week-long Commonwealth Youth Games (CYG), staring October 12, will have something in common with the Beijing Olympic Games: technology and equipment.
More than 15 tonnes of sophisticated equipment have found their way into the city for the CYG being held at the Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex. All the nine sports events will have state-of-the-art timing, scoring, on-venue-result and data-handling systems from Swiss Timing OMEGA. The modules will be similar to those used at the Beijing Olympic Games 2008. There is another first-timer associated with the CYG, special TV graphics and ultra modern TV virtual graphics, akin to those used at Beijing, will be generated for the first time in the country. "The equipment for creating these images is the one which was used at Beijing and will return to Switzerland once the work is over," informed Anil Madaan, Director (India) Swiss Timing OMEGA (timing, scoring, results management). The CYG Pune 2008 will become the first ever sporting event in India to utilise such sophisticated technology where timing, scoring and on-venue results are integrated with the Games Management System electronically. All these system results will be generated and distributed electronically with the touch of a button to various centres, control rooms, internet and CIS (Commentator Information System) etc. Click on "Full Story" for more...
Athletes will be timed accurately up to 1/1000th of a sec by the electronic touch pad system. Since false start in swimming and athletic events cannot be judged by the naked eye, electronic false start detection system with instantaneous results will be employed for such events.
The shooting range at the Games' venue is one of the best in Asia and can be compared with the shooting range at the Olympics. It will have state-of-the-art scoring and ranking technology and one can get a shot-by-shot score and results of the shooters live at home on computer through the internet. Boxing will have electronic timing, scoring, judges' evaluation system and unique Spycam in which judges' decision can be observed and evaluated. Over 70 technology specialists, who operated the system successfully during Olympics, and 30 technical volunteers will be employed at various locations at all venues to operate the timing, scoring and on-venue-result systems. Out of the 70 specialists, about 50 are from Swiss Timing (OMEGA), various operation centres at Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada and Italy. All technical equipment with respect to timing, scoring and OVR are already in place at all the nine venues and have been tested successfully. Source: Times News Network, Oct-04-2008
