All five athletes are being captured on location by Big Sky^TM, Sphere Entertainment's proprietary camera system developed to capture images at the scale and fidelity necessary for Sphere's display. Filming is underway in locations in Jordan, Dubai, Switzerland, the Bahamas, Austin, Las Vegas, and Maui.
