Rio Athletes Redux

[kbennion]

I wasn't able to do some of the visualizations I wanted to due to a limitation of the NBC data I was able to scrape, but! Now that I have it, I can use the names to scrape the Rio site for the missing data, namely GENDER and SPECIFIC EVENT(s).

This is what my data looks like currently, for all 12,000-odd athletes:

If I can get it, I'd then like to divide my athletes by gender and specific event and do some small multiple visualizations for height/weight.

Hi there, I'm the Playfair Bot!

Would you mind adding a category to your issue title? Something like [Pitch] or [Story], or maybe [Meta] if it happens to be a bug. That way we can organize things nice and neat.

Thanks! :pray:
