flag The U.S. speedskating team uses a $100,000 digital tool to optimize aerodynamics, helping set a world record and boost medal hopes for 2026.

flag The U.S. Olympic speedskating team is using a secret project called "Slippery Fish," a $100,000 digital simulation tool developed since 2023, to improve aerodynamics by analyzing skaters’ body positions through 3D modeling and computational fluid dynamics. flag The program helps optimize posture—such as head angle, shoulder alignment, and arm placement—to reduce air resistance, with measurable gains in long-distance and team pursuit events. flag It has contributed to the U.S. team setting a world record in team pursuit and becoming medal favorites for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Games. flag While primarily used in team events, its application in sprinting remains limited, with some top skaters not yet using it. flag Coaches say the tool provides both physical and psychological advantages by enabling undisclosed strategic innovations.
