First, we looked at all the graphs and deduced that the x-axis was the year of the event and the y-axis was the score/time achieved. We then thought about which events the score was increasing in and which ones decreased. We thought about the types of events each graph could possibly represent and made some initial suggestions.
Graph 1: Speed - running
Graph 2: distance - jump
Graph 3: distance
Graph 4: high jump
Graph 5: throwing
Graph 6: jump
Graph 7: heptathlon/pentathlon
Graph 8: long distance swim/cycle
Graph 9: ?
Graph 10: time - running?
After this we looked at the actual list of events and tested this against our initial theories.
These are our results:
Graph 1: Men's 100m
Graph 2: Men's Long Jump
Graph 3: Women's 1500m
Graph 4: Men's High Jump
Graph 5: Men's Javelin
Graph 6: Women's High Jump
Graph 7: Men's Decathlon
Graph 8: Women's 10,000m
Graph 9: Men's 4 x 100m relay
Graph 10: Women's 100m
