Where Olympic Champions Are Born

JMP Research Statistician Caleb King joins us to give us a look at where Olympic champions are born. Using JMP and data from Olympic Reference, Caleb explored data about where gold medalists are from, geocoded birthplace data for all Olympians and shares his insights. Are basketball and beach volleyball players primarily from the U.S.? Do baseball tend to come from Cuba? Are Alpine skiers really from the Alps? Using simple data filters in JMP, the world map and animated time series see for yourself. Spoiler alert: Clay’s animations show history in action and you might be surprised by the top two cities to produce gold medal winners, and by how much a lead they still hold over the rest of the world.
