Olympic Games results to be digitalised by Xerox

By Felicity Ussher

Published: 31 August 2000 13:10 BST

Xerox will be burning faster than the Olympic Torch in Sydney this September, as it produces CD-ROMs for the first 100 per cent digital archive of the Olympic Games.

During the two-week event, 1,000 electronic results books will be created for distribution to sports federations and the media. Each CD-ROM will contain the results of all 28 sports challenges, in searchable format.

Xerox will also present the competition results in a more traditional, paper-based format. It will produce 50,000 paper results books, using recycled paper.
