Do you think technology has improved sports, such as with advanced equipment or analytics? Why or why not?

With advancements in technology, sports have seen major changes, from cutting-edge equipment to the use of data analytics for performance improvement. Do you think these innovations have made sports better, or do they take away some of the traditional elements? How have they impacted athletes, fans, or even the way games are played?

In some sports it’s a benefit. Like horse racing or dog racing. A look at the finish line to determine exactly who won.

Aside from that, I can’t really think of anything where technology has benefited sports.

Personally, it's helped in lots of sports including soccer, F1 and Rugby.

It's only the VAR that its evaluation needs to be done very well on how its being used. If they can't be very consistent with its usage, it's causing more harm than good in my opinion.

I still can't believe that they make funny mistakes at the end of the day with how they handle those VAR analysis. It is really shameful.
