The 8th Workshop on "Computer Science in Sport" was held in Oldenburg/Germany in June 19-21, 2002. It was organized by the section "Computer Science in Sport" of the German Society of Sport Science. More than 50 participants attended the Conference. The main topic of this biannual workshop was "Sport and Multimedia - Prospects for education and training". Opportunities and limitations regarding the use of "new" media in sports were discussed. The fields focused on were the following: · University education · Education for trainers and instructors · Practice of training The contributions were arranged as follows: · Theoretical basics · Technical developments (hardware, software, security) · Empirical research · Reports on multimedia experiences in sport The second topic covered in the Workshop was "Modelling".
