With the winter olympics well under way over in Vancouver, it is easy to see just how much the development of new technology can make all the difference between the competing nations searching for that gold medal.

From developing new streamlined helmets and clothing, to studying video footage of previous runs and that of competitors, each step forward in technology gets the team one step closer to beating their opponent.

There has even been controversy in some cases – with many accusing fingers being pointed at the design of British skeleton winner Amy Williams’ unusual looking helmet. Of course, it could just be sour grapes from the losing competitors!
