With the insane amount of advanced technology and complex data analysis available these days it's only natural that the world's greatest athletes use them to optimize their performance.
U.S. Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones is using a very complex system involving motion capture, high-speed cameras and 3-D rendering to be at her best during this year's summer games.
On top of striving for a gold medal next month, Lolo desperately wants to avoid another terrible setback.
Lolo was in the lead in the final of the 100-meter hurdles at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 when she tragically hit the ninth of 10 hurdles, lost her balance and finished a very disappointing seventh.

Lolo is outfitted with 39 special reflectors throughout her body to track movements from specific areas
Each reflector provides the precise location (down to a millimeter) of each body part 250 times per second
