Visualization 1 – Change in Rankings
Recently the Olympics have been the talk of the town! Personally I have been following Olympics for just 2 reasons
- To see the medal count for India
- To be astonished by the performance of US
When the Olympics ended I thought why not make a Dashboard and feed people with analytics of RIO and may be even compare it to London Olympics. Both of these are unlocked, rip them apart and see how did I put them together
Visualization 1 – Shift in Rankings
The Inspiration to make this visualization came from here. This was a tough one!! To get my head around this, I took almost 7 hours
Visualization 2 – Overall
This was not so difficult and I was done with this in about 2 hours.
