Omega provided 230 tons of timing equipment for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Among them, the new timing equipment in ice hockey and ski jumping will play an important role in the competition.

In the hockey project, Omega will provide important data for the project through a series of ice monitoring systems. The Omega timing and scoring system located on the ice rink timing platform can send all important data and real-time time to the scoreboard and other receivers. At this Winter Olympics, Omega placed a motion sensor on the back of each contestant. The sensor can capture data information in real time during the game, and send these data information to the audience in front of the TV in real time. It can also be used for post-match analysis. Referees will also benefit from the hockey whistle monitoring system introduced by Omega. During the game, each referee on the field is equipped with a wireless microphone to communicate with the scorer at the off-time counter. When the hockey whistle monitoring system captures the referee’s whistle, the timing stops immediately. This is at least 1/2 second faster than manually stopping the timing.

In the ski jumping project, the timing equipment introduced by Omega can send the data information of the event to the scoreboard in the field in real time, and broadcast it on the TV screen. At this Winter Olympics, Omega is equipped with motion sensors on each athlete’s skis and senses them with the antenna set by Omega along the track. The motion sensor can record and transmit data information in real time, including assist speed, take-off speed, players’ air speed when landing 20 meters, and landing speed. In addition, the device can record the jumping skills of the players and even measure the different angles of the players’ snowboards.
