As you know ( or don´t )
I like very much statistics, so, i´ve just finished my statistics work about the age of 100m sprinters last Olympics in Athens.
So, it´s an Excel file 351kb size which have all the information about the results and ages.
I´m gonna put here a resume with the highlights.
So,
about the 84 100m sprinters that raced Round 1 heats 1 to 10;
14.3% of them was 28y/o
13.1% was 21y/o and 24y/o
7.1% was 27y/o
6% was 20, 25 and 30 y/o
when we took by group;
range from
1st group ( 26,27,28 yo ) 26.2%
2nd group ( 23,24,25 ) 25%
3rd group ( 20,21,22 ) 23,8%
4th group ( 29,30,31 ) 13,1%
5th group ( 17,18,19 ) 7,1% then
group ages from ( 32 to 37 ) 4,8%
the interest about this is that,
on the semi-finals and final the almost 50% of athletes are aged between 26 and 28 yo.
I have graphics too and other interest informations, for those who want see in more details.
My next job will be over the 200m sprinters.
