The race is on for a sub-two-hour official marathon, and technology is playing a significant role in enhancing athlete performance.
As the title sponsor of the 2023 Amsterdam Marathon, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) believes technology will have a major impact on future performances.
From the first ever race that Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Athens around 400 AD to announce victory to the first modern Olympic marathon of 1896 and the TCS Amsterdam Marathon 2023, the race has witnessed constant innovations leading to better results.
The impact of technology on sport is already being felt.
Recently, Kelvin Kiptum completed the Chicago Marathon at 2:00:35, beating the record set by fellow Kenyan long-distance runner Eliud Kipchoge in 2022 by 34 seconds. This achievement highlights the potential of technological advancements in footwear, temperature-regulating clothing, and wearable tech.
TCS sees this trend growing with the help of digital twins of vital organs such as the heart, skin, and nose. These digital copies can provide simulations for stress tests, optimal airflow, and hydration. Digital twin technology will transform how elite athletes train, compete, and manage their health while demonstrating the power and potential of personalized health and wellness for the public.

The digital twin heart, for example, represents a significant leap forward in the integration of technology, sports science, and healthcare. I’m proud that TCS is at the forefront of these developments. Together, we will run the future.

This digital copy of her heart will optimize her athletic performance and deliver personalized healthcare.
A digital heart encompasses a range of pioneering features:
“At TCS, we are very passionate about sports and about technology that enhances human performance and promotes a healthy lifestyle,” says Josu Devasia, Country Head, TCS Netherlands.
