How many football games have been decided through instant replay? How many world records were smashed when swimmers started wearing full-body suits? How much faster is tennis today than in the glory days of Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe? We don’t always see them, but technological developments are everywhere in sports, and they continually change the games we love. University of Illinois historian of technology Rayvon Fouché discusses his research on technology and athletics, and technology’s influence on the past, present, and future of sports.
