Olympics Sports and Medals from 1896-2014

This dataset provides comprehensive historical data on the medals won in the Olympics from 1896 to 2014. It includes detailed information about the sports in which the medals were won, the specific events, the athletes who secured them, and the type of medal awarded (Gold, Silver, or Bronze). Additionally, it covers both the Summer and Winter Olympics, offering a complete overview of the countries represented and the gender of the athletes, allowing for in-depth analysis of Olympic performance across different disciplines and time periods.

Dataset Overview

I am combining the following 3 datasets for my final project:

  • Dictionary Dataset (Country Data):

  • Columns:

    • Country: Date of stock data.
    • Code: Opening price.
    • Population: Highest price.
    • GDP per Capita: Lowest price.

  • Summer Olympics Dataset (Country Data):

  • Columns:

    • Year: The year of the event.
    • City: The city where the event took place
    • Sport: Specific discipline within the sport.
    • Athlete: Name of the athlete.
    • Country: The country the athlete represents.
    • Gender: The gender category.
    • Event: The specific event or competition.
    • Medal: Type of medal won (Gold, Silver, or Bronze).

  • Winter Olympics Dataset (Country Data):

  • Columns:

    • Year: The year of the event.
    • City: The city where the event took place
    • Sport: Specific discipline within the sport.
    • Athlete: Name of the athlete.
    • Country: The country the athlete represents.
    • Gender: The gender category.
    • Event: The specific event or competition.
    • Medal: Type of medal won (Gold, Silver, or Bronze).

Usage

  • Medal Trends Over Time: Analyze how countries’ performances have evolved across different Olympic years.
  • Country Performance Comparison: Compare the number of medals won by different countries across various sports and events.
  • Athlete Performance Tracking: Track the achievements of individual athletes and identify the most decorated Olympians.
  • Gender Representation: Examine: the participation and success rates of male and female athletes over time.
  • Sports Popularity: Study which: sports have historically yielded the most medals and how their prominence has shifted over time.

Tasks

  • I want to see who are the top athletes in terms of medal counts in both the Summer and Winter Olympics.
  • I want to see what is the gender distribution among athletes in both Summer and Winter Olympics.
  • I want to see if there is a correlation between a country's GDP per capita and its Olympic success.
  • I want to see how has the performance of a particular country in the Olympics evolved over time.
  • I want to see how many medals have different countries won in the Summer and Winter Olympics.

Winter Olympic Medals 1924 - 2018

This example visualizes the number of medals won by each country at every Winter Olympic Games from 1924 to 2018. It displays the first record from a CSV dataset containing yearly medal counts per nation, highlighting the parsed values for year and medal types. The code imports the data using a CSV parser, converts the numeric fields from strings to numbers, and renders the first entry as formatted JSON in a pre element. The visualization uses plain JavaScript with the container's innerHTML property to present the data sample.

Winter Olympics

This visualization explores historical Winter Olympics medal data from a CSV sourced via Kaggle, parsing years into numeric values for analysis. It displays the first row of the dataset as a formatted JSON object using template literals in a pre element, with a large font size for readability. The code imports the data with a bundled CSV parser and exports both the parsed dataset and a main function that renders the output. It highlights the structure of each record, including athlete, country, event, and medal attributes, providing a foundation for investigating country dominance, athlete success, and event-specific strengths.

Map of Winter Olympic Medals 1924 - 2018

This map visualizes the number of Winter Olympic medals won by each country from 1924 to 2018. Each country is represented by a point on a world map, with the size of the point scaled to the total medals won that year. A year slider allows users to scrub through time, updating the map to show medal counts for each Olympics. The data is sourced from a Kaggle dataset, and the visualization highlights historical medal distributions, making it easy to spot dominant nations and shifts in athletic performance across decades. The map uses a sequential color scale to indicate medal totals, with tooltips providing exact counts and country names. This example demonstrates an effective use of a geographic choropleth with dynamic temporal filtering to explore trends in international sports achievement.

Globe with winter olympic data

An interactive orthographic globe visualizes Winter Olympic medal counts by country, using a color-encoded map to show total medals, gold, silver, and bronze. The globe supports panning and zooming through drag interactions, with animated transitions. Built with d3.geoOrthographic projection, d3.geoPath for rendering, and topojson-client for world atlas data, it parses Olympic medal CSV data and merges it with country geometries.

Olympic Medals

This example displays the raw contents of the Paris 2024 Olympics medals dataset loaded from a CSV file. It parses the medal counts (gold, silver, bronze, and total) into numbers and renders the first record as a formatted JSON string inside a preformatted HTML element. The visualization uses plain JavaScript with the CSV import syntax from VizHub and the standard `JSON.stringify` method to inspect the data structure. The dataset originates from Kaggle and includes medal tallies for each participating country.

CSV Dataset - Winter Olympics Medals

This example loads the Winter Olympics medal dataset as CSV and displays the first row as raw JSON in a preformatted block. It parses the year column into numbers and maps medal types and genders to numeric indices for potential analysis. The visualization uses the Observable Plot library to render the data, though no chart is currently drawn. The dataset comes from the Guardian's Olympic Sport and Medals collection on Kaggle, with each row listing an athlete’s event, country, and medal.

Olympic Games 2021 Medals

This example displays the first row of the Olympic Games 2021 Medals dataset as a formatted JSON object. It uses the raw CSV data, which is loaded and parsed with the `data.csv` import, and the `JSON.stringify` method to generate a readable representation. The visualization, authored by KangjianWu, relies on the `main` function to inject the output into a container, providing a static snapshot of the dataset's structure for inspection.

medal-rank

This visualization uses Olympic medal data from 1896 onward to show how country rankings shift depending on how heavily gold medals are weighted versus silver and bronze. Each country displays a grid of 2D heatmaps, where the x-axis varies the silver-to-bronze weight and the y-axis varies the gold-to-silver weight. D3.js renders each cell as a colored rectangle whose hue maps to the country’s average rank under that scoring scheme, sorted by best possible ranking. The animation and tooltip use D3 selections and SVG.
