Samsung’s SmartSuits skaters to speed up the training session of skaters, Are you a skater? How do you get training to reach out to the goal set in your dreams? Interestingly technology is set to help you. As Samsung is going to assist you either you are a skater who will be present in the winter Olympics thus year, or you are a skater set in the future.
The giant being not quiet about promoting its partnerships with the Olympics is set to introduce sensor-packed outfits that will relay data back to the coach of a skater.
Samsung’s partnerships have been extended to the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea and now it is trying out new gadgets in the world of sports. The innovation does not end with the innovations we saw in the last year, and now Samsung is attempting to expand the area of this innovative world.
In what way Samsung is expanding its area of innovation?
Netherlands branch of Samsung is sponsoring two Dutch short track racers. The company is equipping them with SmartSuits.
What is a SmartSuit?
SmartSuit is a new sensor-packed outfit for the racers intended to augment their training. Means that less training time for the racers with this outfit, or at least easy training experience while wearing this outfit.

A short description of ins and outs of the outfits:
Each of the SmartSuit has five sensors that do feed live body position metrics down to the millimeter back to the Galaxy S8 smartphone of the national coach. On coach’s side, a custom app in Galaxy S8 smartphone does ingest the data and calculates each racer’s body position as they make turns on the ice. The coach can use the an app to send a vibrating buzz to the outfiit’s wrist -say, as a prearranged signal to get the position adjusted.
But you can’t see these outfits in the games because these are the training-only suits, and don’t expect to see the Dutch skaters wearing these suits in PyeongChang when the Winter Games start on February 9th, this year.
The outfits we are talking about are tailor-made for each athlete, so you can not also expect them to show up in retail anytime soon — though tracking your own metrics to get improved your own fitness would be a lot more useful than the NFC-packed “Smart Suit” concepts that Samsung was promoting at CES in 2017.
