Throw Competitions Top 100 Marks

Context

Throw competitions have always been amazing to me and recently I had a doubt, which throwing competition has the biggest scores? That information was too easy to get, so I decided to get the top 100 sport people from hammer, discus, shot, and, javelin. I found a page that keeps track of all this information but there was no way to download it, so I created a web scraper to get this data.

Content

This dataset contains the information about the top 100 sport people from each discipline, including rank, mark, competitor, day of birth, nationality, position, venue, date, and result score.

Acknowledgements

All credit for this information belongs to world athletics, check out their page, it has a lot of interesting information about sports.

Inspiration

There are some questions that could be addressed with this information:

• How does the temperature affects athletes performance?
• How does social and economic status of a country affects the athletes performance?

An interesting problem that could be addressed by adding information could be to predict an athlete performance based on height, weight and age.
