Olympic Sprint

Olympic Sprint pits visitors against some formidable rivals in a real footrace down a ten-metre-long video wall. Before the off, runners use a touch screen to choose their opponent from a colourful line-up — a woman or man athlete, a cheetah, a dolphin or even a dinosaur — who then appears on the wall and takes position alongside them. At the crack of the starting gun, visitors sprint the full length of the track while their digital rival races beside them, and a photo-finish camera at the line captures the decisive moment. When the dust settles, each runner’s performance is shown together with their photo finish. Fast, competitive and full of personality, Olympic Sprint turns an all-out dash into a memorable race against the animal kingdom.
