PARIS — Countries have been focusing on finding more sophisticated technologies to gain an edge in the sport of cycling at the Paralympics. Director of U.S. Paralympics Cycling Ian Lawless has been overseeing a shift in the sport for the American team. He says "the focus is about how we can actually work to gain a competitive advantage." One of the U.S. team's biggest cycling innovations has been its recent work on aerodynamics. The team even had a technology and innovation grant approved by the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee last year.
