Olympic Records - Identifying the events and units
First record occurs when even first happens, so can find statistics on the first data point.
Graph 1
100m mens. Seconds on the y-axis. Easy to identify due to times, and sub-10 time indicates male.
Graph 2
Mens long jump. On the y-axis metres.
Graph 3
Womens 1500m. Identified via the approximate times, and the few number of Olympic records
Graph 4
Men's High jump. On the y-axis height metres From further investigating it is very interesting to see some of the high jump techniques prior to Fosbury.
Graph 5
Men's javelin
Identified via first introduction 1908, and record from Beijing Olympics.
Interesting data point when Olympic Record decreases. Redesign of javelin when almost reaching 100m as danger of javelin going closer to the seating area. Centre of mass altered, so that the javelin sticks into the ground, rather than hoizontally travels too. On the y-axis distance in metres
Graph 6
Women’s high jump Identified by first high jump record. On the y-axis height metres
Graph 7
Mens Decathlon, on the y-axis points
Graph 8
Women’s 10000 metres. On the y-axis Time Minutes:Seconds:milliseconds
Graph 9
Men's 4x100 relay. On the y-axis time in seconds
Graph 10
