Cool!

An Olympics for bionic athletes, Cybathlon, will be held in Switzerland, October 2016.

The Cybathlon is a championship for racing pilots with disabilities (i.e. parathletes) who are using advanced assistive devices including robotic technologies, explains the event's website.

There will be numerous competitions for a broad selection of disciplines that will allow those with powered knee prostheses, wearable arm prostheses, powered exoskeletons, powered wheelchairs, electrically stimulated muscles and novel brain-computer interfaces to take part.
