Question: Would you like to create something using science to help you out being an athlete and what would it be?!

That’s a very interesting question. When I was doing my physics degree I thought about studying a topic called enterprising physics. We had to think about creating something that had never been done before. I thought about making a ring that worked as a stopwatch. When I’m running I time myself with a watch and it’s really difficult to grab your wrist and stop the clock when you run over the finish line. The other option is to hold stopwatches in your hand and that means I can’t do a crouching start for my run. But with a ring you could start and stop the clock more accurately.
Unfortunately I decided not to study this topic in the end so I never made it!
