How chemicals and chemical companies are helping sporting achievement.
It takes years of training if an athlete is to achieve their olympic dream, whatever their sport. To help realise this dream improvements to new kit can help, too. Many equipment, stadium and accommodation improvements are only possible thanks to developments in chemistry and the chemists who work hard to create new materials that are stronger, lighter and more resilient. Chemists also run the drug tests that help ensure a level playing field by catching the cheats. While there will never be an alternative to hard work and sheer dedication, chemistry can add value to making sport happen.
