You know when you are at a party and you are like, what would you do if you were in the Olympics and you tell your mates "I would sprint from the beginning (of a 137km race) and hold on for dear life?" That's what Anna Kiesenhofer did. I decided to analyse the odds of this and see if it was rational! Read the full post here: https://lnkd.in/gEiBBUHB

It is clear that there is arelatively direct relationship between the number of Olympic medals won by countries and the size of the gross domestic product of those countries.

"Olympic Glory in Proportion" I love this, very fun to tab through this data. Sometimes the absolute values, the flashy headline numbers, matter most. But sometimes, when put in context, the relative figures are more helpful. In many cases, both matter. When listeing to someone trying to sell a storyline, asking for a denominator that gives a sense of proportion will often be telling... The Olympics are one of humanity's finest spectacles, and give people around the world the chance to marvel and be proud. Proportional marveling and pride, however, is seldom discussed but worth considering! As you might expect, noteworthy that a kiwi put this together, as they come out much more accomplished from this perspective https://lnkd.in/gr4Buxfp

Understanding Estimation in Sports Science: The Kalman Filter How do we accurately track an athlete's performance bounded by noisy data? The Kalman filter is a powerful tool in sports science for estimation. The Kalman filter minimizes error and maximizes precision by continuously updating estimates based on real-time data, ensuring athletes receive optimal training and performance insights. #SportsScience #KalmanFilter #PerformanceAnalysis #AthletePerformance #DataScience #TrainingOptimization #SportsTechnology #Sports
