Science and the olympics: technology's increasing role in the games
People used to rarely associate science with sports, but increased engineering research and investment in technology by professional sporting organizations have merged the two industries, especially in the 2012 London Olympics.
Scientists and engineers played a significant role in shaping the Great Britain Olympic team, according to BBC News. Though the partnership between sports and science has been a relatively new development, the impact of it can be seen across a number of different events.
Mobile technology, smartphones and tablet computers are found in droves at the London Olympics, as coaches, players and country officials can be seen using these devices to gauge and improve their performance.
According to the news outlet, the ease with which these devices can be integrated into sports has been surprising, but the results are hard to ignore.

Gabarito
B
Comentário do professor
A alternativa B resume corretamente a ideia central do primeiro parágrafo: que a edição de 2012 dos Jogos de Londres marcou a entrada da ciência no esporte por meio de pesquisa e investimento em tecnologia.
O texto contrasta um passado em que ciência e esporte eram pouco associados com a mudança promovida por ações de engenharia e recursos tecnológicos. Essa transformação é identificada como uma parceria entre as áreas.
A expressão "especially in the 2012 London Olympics" atua como marco temporal e exemplifica onde essa união ficou mais evidente, justificando a escolha da alternativa.
Assim, a alternativa B captura o conteúdo global do parágrafo: a união prática entre ciência e esportes impulsionada por pesquisa e investimento tecnológico.
