I Created a gragh of the Olympic medal count at this point using 3, 2, 1 point system [OC]Posted by Responsible_Salad521 Tags:DataData Is BeautifulDataIsBeautiful 8 commentsThis was created using Olympics.com as a source and Microsoft Excel as a toolNeeds an as of dateI would color each bar with # of each medal somehowA better scale is 5, 3, 1. Three bronze medals should not be equivalent to a single gold, and the 3, 2, 1 scale overvalues them.Would be interesting to see the final results with some kind of context for GDP and/or population.I’ve often thought about what is an appropriate weighing scheme.Personally I like 5, 3, and 2 points. Totally subjective, but I feel like the gap from gold to silver is more significant than silver to bronze.Could you do one again using 6-3-1 point system? Gold is easily twice as valuable as silver, and bronze even less.Cool – labels can be more concise tho. United States, China, South Korea, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, MoldovaAh yes, the wrong system.Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
