Norwegian Dominance

Posted on 2021-01-19 | by biathlonanalytics | Leave a Comment on Norwegian Dominance

The guys from Extra Runde had another great podcast on Monday, in which they talked about Leistungs Dichtheit, which I would translate as Proximity of Performance; how close to each other are athletes from the same nation in the world cup rankings? They looked at the Biathlon World Cup standings and noticed that in the top 15 of the men, there were 5 Norwegians, 33.3% of all athletes, and even almost 40% of the total score for the top 15:

For the women the dominance is not the same, with France, Sweden and Norway all having three athletes in the top 15. But when looking at score percentage, the Norwegians are again ahead:

Historically the Norwegians typically have the majority of the athletes, and often the majortiy of the points. Below I look at the top 30 athletes for men and women by number of athletes and score percentage:

With 16.67% of the athletes and 24.18% of the score, the Norwegians are dominant overall this season. To try your own settings, check the report here, or use the embedded version below:

Cheers!
