Continuation With Frozen Four, Tierney, Phelps and Olympic Athletes that Choked Projects

[skkandrach]

For my Final Project I will be working on finishing/updating my three previous projects since there was so much data and areas to explore within the data.

Also, I want to add Olympic athletes that were favored to win entering into the competition and then ended up choking (not fulfilling gold expectations). This data is hard because its not necessarily something that exists, but I think if I can go sport by sport for maybe this (2016) Olympics and the (2012) Olympics to compare the progress/regression of teams/individual competitors performances/outcomes, in maybe a scatter plot?

See #178 #106 and #17

It seems quite a project! Regarding the story about Phelps, I saw this today on the FT, you may find it useful:

Looking forward to seeing those graphs :) Good luck!

Yeyyy more sports! I think it is smart to continue to work on these projects, you have tons of cleaned and manageable data now after hard work! I just read Kate's pitch and sent her this link https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/sports/olympics/olympics-collection/. They have tons of visualizations for sports (olympics) but I think you can get some ideas from there.
