I'd like to see this dataset on Worldmapper :) Nice anyhow
Very cool. Is it just me or does the host nation nearly always seem to get a boost in medals while they are hosting the games (as opposed to immediately previous years)?
The NYT's geography is a bit wonky -- New Zealand seems to have invaded Tasmania and Indonesia is slip-sliding down the western coast of Australia (it should be sitting on top, to the north).
Kinda reminds me of the color blindness tests. I think I see a 4... or is it a 2?
the distorted geography i thought was well done -- size has an absolute meaning, so it can be compared across years.
Very nice to see. The Power of Data Visualization.........
