Professional Triathletes Organisation
The Professional Triathletes Organisation uses Dataworks to centralise live data for the T100 World Tour. From secondscreen experiences to live broadcasts, the PTO is leading endurance sport engagement with groundbreaking data-driven production, including the first use of live heart rates in triathlon.
Realtime storytelling
Dataworks powers the PTO’s ability to highlight the key narratives that define each race as the tour unfolds. From pivotal overtakes to sustained superhuman efforts, live heart rate and power metrics are captured, processed, and visualised in realtime, giving commentators and production teams the tools to transform raw data into compelling stories for fans.
Data in action
During the T100 Singapore Women’s 2024 race, Dataworks uncovered a thrilling head-to-head battle between Lucy Buckingham and Lucy Charles-Barclay. Buckingham led the pack, pushing at 98% of her maximum heart rate, while Charles-Barclay, maintaining a more sustainable 86%, trailed just 6 seconds behind. The live data not only highlighted the intensity of the chase but also predicted the inevitable overtake, giving fans deeper insight into the unfolding drama.
Dependable processing
Dataworks cleans, smooths, and processes data to ensure accuracy and reliability. Metrics like peak performance, high intensity, and sustained effort are tailored to align with PTO’s race formats, turning raw data into dramatic visuals that amplify emotion, highlight key moments, and fuel storytelling for viewers.
From athlete to fan
Triathlon’s multi-discipline format presents unique challenges, from waterproofing sensors to overcoming unreliable GPS signals during races. Dataworks meshes timing, GPS, and biometric data captured and transmitted from athletes into a unified source of truth. The cloud-based system processes end-to-end data flows in less than 1 second, ensuring consistent and reliable performance data across all inputs and outputs.
Increased engagement
During the T100 World Tour 2024, the Dataworks-powered secondscreen brought fans closer to the action. Fully responsive on the PTO website, it provided live timing, heart rate, gear ratios, and race facts highlighting penalties and key moments. Stable and reliable, the secondscreen handled thousands of concurrent users, powering data across broadcast and commentary teams to create a more immersive and connected experience.
More to come
The success of the inaugural T100 World Tour in 2024 proved the power of data to transform endurance sports, raising the bar for fan engagement and storytelling. With a full season of data to build on, Dataworks is poised to go even further. Advanced metrics like watts-per-kilo and intelligent predictions, such as anticipated overtakes, will deliver deeper insights and elevate the fan experience to new heights in 2025.
