Going for gold. Supporting UK Sport Researchers in the School of Engineering Sciences are working closely with UK Sport to help British athletes reach their full potential in events such as cycling and skeleton bob. Head of Research and Innovation at UK Sport, Dr Scott Drawer, explains: “Gold medals can be won or lost within fractions of seconds and our job is to ensure the athletes are in the best possible position to take advantage of those tiny margins. The knowledge and expertise that the University of Southampton contributes is critical to our work.�
