Race car technology powers our Paralympic basketballers

Australian Institute of Sport Video News Release here: Interviews with Australian Rollers wheelchair basketball representative Tom O’Neill-Thorne and AIS Senior Engineer Matt Crawford. AIS Engineering is using Formula 1 race car technology to put Australia’s wheelchair basketballers in the driver’s seat for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. In partnership with Paralympics Australia and Basketball Australia, AIS engineers are providing three squad members of the Australia men’s Paralympic basketball wheelchair team, the Rollers, with customised carbon-fibre seats to increase their speed, agility and support. It is an evolution of the work the AIS and Paralympics Australia have done over many years with wheelchair athletes such as tennis superstar Dylan Alcott. One of the basketballers to benefit, Tom O’Neill-Thorne, says it will be a “game-changer” for the sport.
