About this Event
Ahead of the 2024 Olympics taking place in Paris this summer, join us for a panel discussion exploring elite sports.
Our experts, including Double Olympic Champion Dame Kelly Holmes, will consider questions including: How does science contribute to making athletes faster and stronger, and to continue to break records? How much does talent contribute to success, or can training and commitment create an elite athlete?
Speakers also include Amandine Aftalion, Senior Scientist at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Paris, and Brian Hanley, Reader in Sport and Exercise Biomechanics at Leeds Beckett University.
Come along and find out more about the biomechanics of sports such as running, the theory of optimal control within racing endurance, and how performance psychology has an impact both on and off the track.
This event is part of the Festival Focus ‘’ presented in collaboration with the French Embassy in the UK. You may also be interested in the online event ‘’ which will take on Saturday 1 June.
