The 2014 Winter Olympics is taking place in Sochi, Russia. It's the most expensive Olympic Games ever.

For world-class athletes it's a chance to perform to the best of their ability and win that gold medal for their country. And many of them are choosing new technology to help them improve their speed. Rob and Finn discuss the role of new technology at the Sochi Olympics and explain some sports-related vocabulary.
