Project Information
Welcome to our project exploring the rich history of the Olympic Games! Over the course of 120 years, the Olympic Games have showcased extraordinary human achievement, cultural milestones, and global sports history. Our project delves into this treasure box using the 120 Years of Olympic History dataset, a compilation of athlete records, medal achievements, and event details spanning from Athens 1896 to Rio 2016. The dataset, sourced from Kaggle, includes over 271,000 entries and offers insights into athlete demographics, event performances, and evolving trends across both the Summer and Winter Games. Our project is not just about numbers or medals; its a window into stories of perseverance, triumph, and change over time. We aim to answer intriguing questions like: Do certain countries excel in specific events? How have athlete demographics evolved? Which sports have gained popularity, and which have faded? Using data visualizations created with Altair, we provide clear and engaging insights into these questions, making this project accessible to sports enthusiasts, history buffs, and casual fans alike. Whether you are looking to explore patterns in medal wins, track the rise and fall of specific sports, or simply take a nostalgic journey through Olympic history, our project offers a fresh perspective. The analysis not only reveals past trends but also lays a foundation for predicting future participation and performance. So, join us as we celebrate the remarkable history of the Olympic Games, one visualization at a time!
