If an Olympiad of animals against humans were held, we would surely lose. And against bionic human beings? We do not know it yet.
But the first step has already been to celebrate the first bionic athletics Olympiad. It took place on October 8, 2016.
Bionic Olympiad
The Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, in Switzerland, is the body that hosted the first edition of the Cybathlon, the only competition aimed at people using bionic prostheses with assisted propulsion.
Some used robotic limbs, exoskeletons and electric wheelchairs. Others developed technology to stimulate paralyzed muscles, which allowed them to run on recumbent bicycles.
In this competition, races were held in which all kinds of activities had to be carried out, from doing the laundry to overcoming obstacles. 66 teams and 400 competitors from different countries participated.
Unlike the Paralympic Games, participants in Cybathlon use motorized prostheses.
