Olympic Statistics

Freakonomics blog has two interesting articles that use statistics about the Olympics. Teeny, Tiny Gymnasts compares the sizes of the US and Chinese womens gymnastics competitors to the countries population. Yep, those Chinese gymnasts are small. The second, Usain Bolt: It’s Just Not Normal, shows a chart of 200m record times and why Usain Bolt's record was so exceptional. Joe DiMaggio makes an appearance too.
