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

The Olympic Heptathlon

The Women's Olympic Heptathlon is comprised of seven events in which competitors are awarded points based on their performance. The points are awarded according to the following formulas for the different groups of events (running, jumping, throwing). The formulas are devised to award 1000 points for some reference performance and 0 points at some minimum level of performance.
