Visualizing 120 years of Summer Olympics

A Data Visualization Project by Chris Fang & Hongtao Hao for Professor YY's Dviz course

Plans: Ranking Sports

First, we will use a bar chart where the x-axis will be the different sports and the y-axis the corresponding number of athletes. See Figure 19.

Second, we will show this ranking using a word cloud in which larger font size denotes a higher number of participants. This graph will be clearer and more direct because viewers can intuitively get a sense of the relative size of participation of a sport. See Figure 20.
