Opinion: Technology in sports

BOSTON — As someone who lives just a few hundred paces from the Boston Marathon course, I’ve cheered my share of athletes. This year, it was Masazumi Soejima at the head of the pack, propelling his wheelchair across a rainy 26 miles in 1 hour, 29 minutes and 16 seconds. It took Robert Cheruiyot an extra 44 minutes and 57 seconds to come in first on foot.
