Switzerland to host World's first cyborg Olympics

Researchers at ETH Zurich, a Swiss technical university, plan to host a “cyborg Olympics” in Zurich in October 2016.
•    The university’s games will actually be open to disabled people that use an electronic prosthetic to complete daily tasks that the able-bodied take for granted. 
•    According to IEEE Spectrum, there will be races where paralyzed people will be able to use recumbent bikes using electric stimulations and others with robotic arms to race while carrying items, like a cyborg version of an egg-and-spoon competition.
•    Those with leg prosthetics will have to climb stairs and walk on stepping-stones; those with arm prosthetics will have to slice loaves of bread and open jars. 
•    A test event was held in July 2015, and 80 teams are set to compete so far in 2016 main event. 
•    Cyborg Olympic is all about promoting sports among disabled people who have an urge of playing sports with the help of electronic inventions.
