    [SINGAPORE] From Japanese golfers to US baseball teams, athletes around the world are improving their game with the help of data trackers developed in Singapore.

    Fifteen years ago, engineer Batuhan Okur saw a niche in sports technology that was not being filled: accessible, affordable data-tracking tools for athletes.

    So he brought together five other engineers through a job posting and started Rapsodo, aiming to level the playing field for coaches and players.
