sport that technology has changed the most

Nascar.

Track and field; Check out the world record progression in the pole vault.

food consumption

formula 1, nascar isn't a sport.

Bukakke- Zinc formulas chanded the world as we know it

Sky diving. When they first started, they use to jump out of a plane with a blanket, now they have these so called parachutes that come out of a backpack at the pull of a string.

i say tennis..when they got rid of wood rackets i just coudlnt cope...

Scatting - raw food diet

I'd have to throw swimming in there. Between the suits and the pools a whole lot of technology is going on there.

A lane can be oiled to have a strike pocket most anywhere. This ensures high scores, which boosts bowler confidence, which boosts sales. The balls have changed drastically over the years as well.

Any others?

Not being a golfer or bowler, I imagine the same case you make for bowling could be made for golf, and maybe even tennis.

There is a difference between changing the times made in an event and changing the event. In the PV, the event was 'remade'. Many of the other examples did not result in complete differences in who was who in the sport and how people did things. There has been a lot of technical change in bikes, but the nature of bike racing has not really changed, it has merely evolved to reflect the growing base of top-level riders and high-level support riders.

I'd have to say golf. It's the only sport I can think of where they have to regulate the technology. Club heads are getting so revolutionized and advanced that they have to put rules on it and limit what kind you use so that you don't have too much of an advantage over the course.

Formula 1 Grand Prix - why? Look at the number of deaths that the sport had during its earlier years. Still a highly dangerous sport, but those guys years back were as brave as fighter pilots in the war with the threat of death just around every corner.

I would say car racing - because it is all about technology. But, for the sake of argument, cycling would be up there. Between carbon fiber and EPO, the sport is very reliant on technology - the equipment and the performers.

Ferret-legging. Those Kevlar underpants have changed everything.

Different handle-bars and new aerodynamic positioning changes things, I think.

It really pissed me off when they introduced clap-skates into speed skating. The record books were completely rewritten. To me it felt like a complete lack of respect to the athletes who had turned in performances before the switch.

The bindings on skis has probably changed the sport a lot. I can remember my parents telling me about complicated things with springs and straps... and are parabolic skis ever used in competition?
