Doppler radar system- Using Doppler radar system is similar to what weather forecasters uses to broadcast on TV, but the problem is these systems are quite useless when there is little or no chance of wind. This year in Olympics using a Doppler radar system, will help to scan the surface of the course with laser beams and measures beam scatter to provide real time readout of wind speed and direction over a large area.
Pre cool vest- The Pre cool is a vest that holds a bunch of pre frozen ice packs similarly to those blue ice packs putted in a cooler to keep your drinks cold.
