10) Medal rush for #Ireland on the final day of the Euro Champs at #Apeldoorn2025

Big breakthroughs for both Sara Healy - gold in the 3000m and Kate O’Connor - bronze in the #Heptathlon, with veteran Mark English adding to his European hardware collect with bronze in the #800m

[#Paris2024] Il pleut... et il serait bon de télécharger sur #Commons toutes les photos des #JO2024 avant que ne démarrent les #JP2024 !

Rattrapage de la session d'#athlétisme du 9 août matin, avec des relais 4x400, du 100m haies, du 800m homme, et 2 épreuves d'#heptathlon (beaucoup de photos, malgré le tri... mais toutes les heptathlètes sont désormais illustrées).

Edit (ajout de la soirée pluvieuse du 9)

I am wondering if anybody has done any interesting data #visualization on #heptathlon and #decathlon results or scoring. It's a high-dimensional space, but I suspect there is a low-dimensional space hiding within it, as the most successful athletes converge on a small number of different training strategies, or correlated skills.

This example uses a radar chart: https://scipython.com/book2/chapter-4-the-core-python-language-ii/additional-problems/the-olympic-heptathlon/

This homework question asks for principal component analysis: https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/principal-components-dimension-reduction-hsaur2-package-contains-data-heptathlon-results-w-q31199113

The article does the PCA and (unsurprisingly) the throwing events are distinct from the running and jumping events: https://rss.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1740-9713.2012.00561.x

Brilliant performance by #KJT up against probably the best women's hectathlete ever.
Congrats. #olympics #heptathlon #lfc

A bit too much to expect KJT to win by enough to claw back that difference, but a great race and event nonetheless, and a brilliant silver.

Allez KTJ!

Just watched Katarina Johnson-Thompson do just enough in the Heptathlon to win the World Championship Athletics in Budapest. What a finish! Been a bit of a sporting Sunday.
