Being the underdogs in the 2012 Olympics, U.S.A. Team Pursuit defied odds and earned a Silver Medal. 

For the 2016 Olympic Games, IBM empowered the team to track real-time data – something that they didn't have access to previously. Rather than rely on intuition, they now had access to data that identifies opportune times to manage power. This initiative not only promoted the power of IBM Watson IoT, it did it in a timely manner that enabled organic promotion.
