The dataset (athlete_events.csv) comes from the 120
Years of Olympic History Kaggle dataset.
A box plot showing the spread of athlete ages across the top sports. Hover over any box to see the median, quartiles, and outliers. Though there are more competitive sports for male athletes, in events with both sex categories, men consistently have a wider range of competitive ages.
A line chart showing whether athletes are getting older or younger across Olympic history, split by Summer vs Winter Games (the Winter Games first occurred in 1924). Athlete age has varied across the years, but has begun to stabilize in the mid-20s since the late 90s.
Select a sport from the dropdown to see whether older or younger athletes tend to win medals. Blue = no medal, Gold = medal of any rank.
