February 2000 marked the dress rehearsal, with 1250 athletes competing at the Australian Open Athletics Championships held in the newly-built Olympic stadium. Leica Geosystems total stations were deployed to measure jumping and throwing distances in Sydney’s new “Stadium Australia“. At the meeting, athletes were for the first time able to realistically assess sporting conditions in an arena with a seating capacity of 110,000. The stadium managers also made good use of this opportunity to test the efficiency of proceedings, and see how state-of-the-art measurement and transmission technologies could work together.
