Nanotechnology has been widely used in the last decade. Today, nanotechnology brings many benefits in our daily lives. The term "nano" in theory appeared much earlier in the same application in various areas, due to not having adequate equipment nor technology that could explore such "small" particles. In addition to all possible applications, nanotechnology, has one of the most important application and that is sports. Improvement of sports equipment by nanoparticles in many sports it brought to a clear development in the performance of athletes, achieving better results and quality of new equipment. In this review, we are approaching nanotechnologies and sports, the possibility of applying nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, carbon nanoparticles, silicon dioxide nanoparticles and others to create sports equipment in various sports such as cycling, golf, tennis, skiing, surfing. The impact of nanotechnology, as a new technology in sports has been briefly explained.
