Ski Speed per Loop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Some athletes seem to get faster over the course of a race, while others appear to tire more quickly than the field. To quantify this a little better and find out who has particularly strong final laps, I calculated the ski speed (back from top 30 median) for each of the 3\/5 ski loops. You can visualize them either as box plots or line charts (for overall career, per season, per discipline, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head-to-head comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For all races, you can now compare two athletes directly. All time data (course times, shooting times, range times, etc.) is visualized through a diverging bar chart, while some other data (shooting intervals, hits\/misses) are shown side by side in a table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
All race pages<\/a> (since 2010\u201311) now have direct links to the Eurovision Sports<\/a> website which hosts the official IBU videos. If available, the links usual include race replay<\/strong>, press conference<\/strong>, highlights <\/strong>and zeroing<\/strong>. For Olympic races, I linked videos from Olympic.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
