Latest announcements, insights, and coverage from Aiving.
Aiving is collaborating with ETH Zurich’s Sensory-Motor Systems Lab on a figure skating research study. Skaters are invited to take part in “Jump for Science” and help explore how objective jump data can advance training, judging, and performance analysis — connecting Jump Tracker’s real-world insights with academic research to shape the future of the sport.
Aiving joined the ISU Congress in Tenerife (9–11 June) as part of the global conversation on how technology can shape the future of skating under Vision 2030. We met national federations from around the world to discuss how Jump Tracker supports athlete development through objective performance insights, progression tracking, and smarter training load management. The Aiving Spin Challenge brought competition and curiosity to delegates and future skaters, with brand ambassador Kevin Aymoz inspiring local children on the ice. We also connected with Glice Eco Skating Rinks to explore expanding access to skating and performance technology worldwide.
At ThinkSport THE SPOT 2026 in Lausanne, ISU Director General Colin Smith joined global sports leaders to discuss how international federations can evolve while preserving tradition. Aiving’s jump analysis system was highlighted as an award-winning innovation supporting athlete development — a proud moment as the ISU advances its Vision 2030 strategy with technology that serves skaters, coaches, and the sport.
Aiving took first place in the Sport Innovation Challenge AI & Robotics category at ThinkSport THE SPOT 2026 in Lausanne, and also won the Coup de Cœur, the audience’s public prize.
