Installation

There should be no necessary libraries to run the code here beyond the Anaconda distribution of Python. The code should run with no issues using Python versions 3.*.

Project Motivation

For this project, I was interestested in using Olympic Games data from Wikipedia to answer some questions:

1. Which country has won the most gold medals in summer games ?
2. Which country had the biggest difference between their summer and winter gold medal counts ?
3. Which country has the biggest difference between their summer gold medal counts and winter gold medal counts relative to their total gold medal count ?
4. Which are the top 5 countries if we weights each gold medal for 3 points, silver medals for 2 points, and bronze medals for 1 point ?

File Descriptions

There is a notebook available here to showcase work related to the above questions. Markdown cells were used to assist in walking through the thought process for individual steps.

There is an additional olympics.csv file that contains Olympic Games data.

Results

The main findings of the code can be found at the post available here.
