Every Olympics has pushed the boundaries of sports technology, but the Tokyo games will see that constant multiplied by Japan’s penchant for tech.

Feel how optimizing every single shape and surface propels cyclists to new speeds with Alex Howes, hear how equipment changes do more than improve performance for Tatyana McFadden, understand how old sports are improving with modern tools and go inside the broadcasting magic that transports viewers from their couch right into the action.

Join host Lauren Shehadi for Season 2 of NBC Sports’ The Podium. Episode 2 features Alex Howes, Tatyana McFadden, Kelsey-Lee and Mike Barber, Karl Malone, David Mazza, Tim Layden and Ahmed Fareed
