Below are the replies to a request for information on the use of
radars/lasers to determine real time running speeds of athletes. We are
grateful to all the respondents.
1. Alexander Aurin
We developed a laser method to determine real time sprint/running speeds
and several other parameters from athletes in 1977. Our method was used
by the USSR National track and field sports team for several years
including the preparation to the 20 Olympic Games. We published several
papers and obtained patents:
