The first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896 saw just 241 athletes compete across 43 different events. Over the next 125 years, these numbers have gradually climbed, and the Games in Rio in 2016 were the largest to date, with more than eleven thousand athletes taking part in 306 different events. The Athens Games in 1896 was exclusively for male athletes, while the Paris Games in 1900 had 22 female competitors in non-athletic events such as tennis and golf (although the golf participants were not aware that it was an Olympic event, and the gold medalist's family was not informed of this until recently). Over time, the number of female athletes slowly increased, although it did not hit the ten percent mark until 1952, or the quarter mark until 1988; while the highest level of female participation was in 2020, where almost 5,400 women competed (49 percent). In the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, a number of mixed shooting events, table tennis doubles, and swimming and sprinting relays were introduced in an attempt to improve participation among female athletes, although overall participation was lower as many did not travel, withdrew, or were unable to compete due to coronavirus (Covid-19) related problems.

The Paris 2024 Olympic Games were scheduled to be the first time a modern Summer Olympics will have an equal share of male and female athletes competing. The first modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896 were exclusively for male competitors, and although some female events were introduced in Paris in 1900, the share of events was just 2.2 percent. Over the next century, the ratio of female to male events has gradually narrowed, and at a faster rate in recent decades, reaching almost 49 percent in Tokyo 2020. Not only has the overall volume of female athletes increased, the last decade has seen the introduction of several mixed events; these included mixed shooting events and both sprinting and swimming mixed relays.

The Olympics Data Analysis project explores historical Olympic data using Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) techniques. By leveraging Python libraries such as pandas, seaborn, and matplotlib, the project uncovers patterns in medal distribution, athlete demographics, and country-wise performance.

Key findings reveal that most medalists are aged between 20-30 years, with USA, China, and Russia leading in total medals. Over time, female participation has increased significantly, reflecting improved gender equality in sports. Additionally, athlete characteristics like height and weight play a crucial role in certain sports, such as basketball (favoring taller players) and gymnastics (favoring younger athletes).

The project includes interactive visualizations such as heatmaps, medal trends, and gender-wise participation charts to provide a comprehensive understanding of Olympic history and trends. The insights can help sports analysts, researchers, and enthusiasts better understand performance patterns in the Olympics.

The Tokyo 2020 Games marked the first Summer Olympics where the number of women's and mixed events outnumbered the number of men's events. The first modern Olympic Games in 1896 had a total of 43 events for male-only competitors and teams; this climbed above 150 events in 1972, and has generally fluctuated between 150 and 180 events since this time. For women's and mixed events the number has steadily grown with each tournament, but the number of events did not surpass 100 until 200. The Paris Games in 1900 had 93 events for male competitors, however the number of female and mixed events did not exceed this figure until 1996.

Throughout Olympic history, there have been a number of events that are exclusively for women, such as rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming, although there are many more male-only events, such as the pommel horse and rings, and there is a larger number of male weight classes in weightlifting and combat events. There are also several mixed events, such as tennis and badminton (with set numbers of male and female competitors) whereas male and female athletes compete on equal terms in equestrian and sailing events (although sailing has become increasingly segregated in recent years). In the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, a number of mixed shooting events, table tennis doubles, and swimming and sprinting relays were introduced in an attempt to improve participation among female athletes.

Context

The Olympic games are not just sport events, but some social and economic factors have effects on every nation's performance. In order to measure performance, the first step is collecting data. There is a comprehensive dataset by @heesoo37 which covers Olympic games from 1896 to 2016. I tried in vain to find a similar dataset for 2020 Summer Olympics. Therefore, I decided to make one from the data available on official Olympics website www.olympics.com. rvest, jasonlite and tidyverse packages of R language were used to web scrape the desired data.

Content

This dataset consists of every event in which an athlete participated together with age, nationality, ranks and medals. There two clear differences between current dataset and similar ones. First, in addition to medals, ranks are also included for every event an athlete took part. Second, each event is labeled in a way one can easily confer whether it is team or individual event. I will explain my incentive for doing this way in a separate notebook, however, in a nutshell, measuring performance just by counting medals and treating each team medal as an individual medal is not an accurate way. So, defining a new Key Performance Index is necessary. Although the data offered by www.olympics.com is not perfect, this website is the most comprehensive reference for 2020 Summer Olympics. www.olympedia.com is another good resource for historical data collection of past Olympic games which is maintained by a number Olympics historians and statisticians. In the process of establishing the current dataset, the main reference was www.olympics.com. In some cases there were dubious entries which was corrected or omitted after verifying them by referring to www.olympedia.com and www.wikipedia.com.

The 2024 Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad and branded as Paris 2024, were an international multi-sport event that occurred from 26 July to 11 August 2024 in France, with the opening ceremony having taken place on 26 July.

Previous studies on the topic of the 'Olympic Effect' and its impact on tourism reveal both positive and negative returns for host countries as well as unsuccessful bid host countries. The returns experienced, as explained by subject scholars, are greatly dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are uncontrollable. Therefore, it is an undeniable risk for a country to host a sporting mega-event; however, the potential successful outcome generally overshadows any concern. Building off of previous research conducted, this paper explores the effects host countries and unsuccessful bid host countries of sporting mega-events experience in regards to tourism after an event takes place. It not only examines the Olympics, but also observes the FIFA Men's World Cup, since it is considered the second largest sporting mega-event after the Olympics. In this analysis, hosts and unsuccessful bid hosts were observed under a variety of controls to fully understand factors that affect outcomes on tourism. The majority of results show a positive increase in tourism for hosts and unsuccessful bid hosts. However, it is apparent that many of these results are byproducts of a naturally occurring time trend that causes sectors such as tourism to increase over time.

A total of 133 Olympic medals (42 gold, 43 silver and 48 bronze) have been retroactively stripped from athletes for a variety of offences at the Summer Games. Most* of these offences were related to doping, usually where banned substances were found in urine samples, but also where athletes tampered with these samples or failed to provide a valid sample on time (and a small number of non-doping related offences). The death of Danish cyclist Knud Enemark Jensen during the Team Time Trial in 1960 led to the formation of an Olympic medical committee in 1961; this committee then introduced drug testing at the Summer Olympics in 1968. The first athlete to have a medal rescinded as a result of these tests was Hans-Gunnar Liljenwall in 1968; the Swede had two beers to calm his nerves before a shooting event, but had inadvertently consumed an illegal amount of alcohol. Since then, a number of other athletes (or their horses) have accidentally or unknowingly taken banned substances, but evidence suggests that a great deal more have done so intentionally. The first high-profile athlete to be stripped of their medal was Canada's Ben Johnson, following his victory in the 100m sprint in 1988. The scandal rocked the world of sport, was covered heavily by international news outlets, and increased public awareness of the use of steroids in top-level sports.

BALCO and Team USA in 2000

Athletes representing the U.S. have been stripped of ten medals in total, with seven of these coming in the 2000 Games in Sydney; five of these were from one athlete. A 2002 federal investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative found that the lab was providing many professional and Olympic athletes with prohibited substances. When investigators were anonymously provided with a syringe containing unknown substances, this allowed them to trace the materials back to other athletes' samples, who were speedily implicated and charged. The anonymous whistleblower turned out to be the running coach of Marion Jones, who took gold in the 100m, 200m, and 4x400m, and bronze in the Long Jump and 4x100m in Sydney. The investigation did not immediately incriminate Jones, further testing led to her admission of guilt in 2007, and she subsequently turned over her five Olympic medals. Although Jones had won two of her medals in team events, her co-competitors had their medals restored to them in 2010 as the rules in 2000 did not punish teams for the actions of one member. This ruling also benefitted the men's 4x400 team, who had been stripped of their medals in 2004 for the actions of one of the runners in the heats and semi-finals. The men's team's records and medals were restored the following year, but the team was then re-stripped of their medals in 2008 when another member (who ran in the final) also admitted to doping. The seventh medal was stripped from Lance Armstrong, who won the bronze in Individual Time Trial; Armstrong returned his medal in 2013, following the development of the largest doping scandal relating to any individual athlete.

Russian doping scandal

While the Soviet Union and Eastern European states had a history of state-sponsored doping programs throughout the 1970s and 1980s, their doping methods were usually one step ahead of the testing methods, and were difficult to prove (in the past twenty years these countries have had more medals stripped than the rest of the world combined). WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, was formed in 1999 by the IOC, and is the world's leading organization in the fight against doping in sports. Their actions in the past two decades have led to large improvements in testing methods and regulations, and they have helped to identify many cheats throughout this time. In spite of this, it was not until Russian whistleblowers came forward in the early 2010s that the largest doping scandal in the world came to light.

Starting in 2010, a small number of athletes and testing officials reported that RUSADA (the Russian Anti-Doping Agency) was deliberately working against WADA to help athletes cheat and conceal this from testing authorities. The allegations implicated many renowned athletes and high-ranking testing officials, and even indicated that President Vladimir Putin was aware of these activities. In the wake of these revelations and WADA's investigations, 145 Russian athletes have been added to the "most suspicious" list, and have been banned from taking part in any major athletics tournaments. Since 2010, Russian athletes have been stripped of more medals than any other country, 29 medals were stripped from Russian competitors relating to the 2008 and 2012 games alone. In December 2019, WADA announced that RUSADA were still non-compliant with international procedures and regulations, and Russia would be banned from all major sporting events for a period of four years. WADA did, however, allow Russian athletes to participate in the Toky...
