An analysis of shooting speed in biathlon, using the women’s individual race in Kontiolahti as an example. The data came from the real biathlon website, here is the exact link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get this data in a workable format, I just copied the table, pasted it in a text editor and copied\/pasted that to Google Sheets. From there I had to do some splitting and moving things around but it was still fairly easy to get a working table. The only time consuming part was manually assigning hits or misses, and for that reason, I only did to for the top 30 athletes. Then I added some calculation for athlete averages, max and min shooting times, etc. Although that can be done in Tableau, I find once you start working with filters etc. in becomes unnecessarily complicated in Tableau, just much easier to calculate the fields in Google Sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a reminder the Tableau Dashboard below is interactive and intended to be used for further exploration of data. If you open it on the Tableau Public site<\/a> you can use it full screen. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
