Fuel technology is definitely a huge current event, and therefore would be easy and fun to follow. Also, (as Aimee said) you could definitely tie it into global warming and skiing. However, your other topic, sports technology, is less well known and would be a new and refreshing topic for the readers of your I-search! Also, you seem really into the whole sports field and I think over the long run it would keep you more passionate and interested then your other topics.
The only thing I would suggest to do would be to narrow your topic down a little. I'm not sure of exactely what you're researching, since you have many many good ideas, but once you find a specific topic I'm sure it will be fantastic! :]

I am very interested in technology in athletics. I want to learn how sports are being changed, and how it effects not only the athletes but also the competition. I want to research how countries around the world train their athletes for competitions like the Olympics. Is there a possibility that competitions like the Olympics are becoming unfair because poor countries can't afford the expensive training facilities that Americans or the Chinese can? Are some countries like China taking the idea of gold medals too seriously, and pushing the limits of their athletes to far? After all isn't the main point of sports to have fun, and bring the world together in large competitions? I want to find the answers to these and many, many more questions in my isearch.
This past summer the 2008 Beijing Olympics captivated the world with not only their splendor, but the intensity of all the athletes. Micheal Phelps broke 7 world records and won 7 gold medals. His success was not only from his natural skill, but also came from the swimsuits that all the swimmers were wearing. This is just one example of how technology is drastically changing that sport and others. I want to see how these changes not only improve the sport, but how other people see them. Do critics support this addition to the sport, or do they think that it is an unfair advantage to the athletes. I'd like to research this as well as any new technology that is created during the 5-6 months.
There is a lot of information available on this topic. Not only are there tons of articles following up the Beijing Olympics, but there are many others on how athletes are effected by the changes. I also want to follow some other smaller competitions like the X- games and the Dew tour. I want to see how things like bikes and skateboards are changing, and also how skiing is changing. There are so many new skis every year, and each pair is better than the next in one way or another.
This topic will be challenging for me because I currently have lots of ideas about this topic, but I don't really know much. I want to know more about the qualities of skis so I can actually know a lot about what is good and bad in a ski if I was to go buy a pair. This topic would give me a much greater knowledge on many things. If you go out looking for information, many times you'll find tons of things you didn't know. Knowledge about everything and anything is one of the best tools to have, and I hope to improve this for me by learning as much as possible about this topic.
