National Games: Uttarakhand is carving a niche for itself as a hub for world-class sports infrastructure, as seen in the 38th National Games. A key highlight of the event is the newly installed smart synthetic track at the Maharana Pratap Sports College in Dehradun, which is transforming track and field events in the country.
This state-of-the-art track features advanced electronic chips that do away with the traditional stopwatch. The system captures real-time data on athletes’ speed at various stages – at the start, mid-race, and finish. This innovation has been welcomed by athletes and coaches alike, as it provides precise insights into performance.
The track, made from high-quality rubber particles, ensures both durability and top-notch performance. With only a few such tracks available across India, this technology-driven facility sets a new standard for sports training in the country.
Coaches now have the tools to fine-tune their strategies, giving India’s future sprinters and middle-distance runners a competitive edge on the international stage.
