Elite sport is no longer just about talent &#8211; it’s about who leverages tech, media, and momentum best. Athletes become moguls, AI trains like a coach, and fan loyalty is fought for beyond the stadium. With women’s sports shattering ceilings, the question isn’t if the game is changing, but who’s leading the charge?

AI is revolutionising how athletes train, recover, and perform &#8211; from predictive injury prevention to hyper-personalised coaching and synthetic scouting.
As AI becomes a &#8220;silent teammate,&#8221; we explore how technology is reshaping elite sports &#8211; and how human intuition still has a place in sport.
