## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does athlete tracking work?

Wearables, timing mats, computer vision provide stride length, ground contact time, power output to athletes and coaches in real-time via tablet dashboards.

### How are results processed?

40 different timing/scoring systems standardized into unified format. Triple redundancy (3 independent systems must agree within 0.001s). Multi-layer verification prevents errors.

### How does graphics rendering work?

280 A100 GPUs. YOLO v8 detects athletes, DeepSORT tracks across frames, OCR reads bibs. Unreal Engine 5 renders at <16ms. 99.3% accuracy from 8.2M training images.

### What about the media workflow?

18,000 journalists access real-time results, auto-transcribed quotes, photos (seconds after capture), video clips, statistics via unified platform—eliminating delays between competition and publication.
