The chart and graph below give information about participants who have entered the Olympics since it began.
The bar chart illustrates how many people participated in the
Olympics
categorized by gender and the line graph shows the total of all attendees from 1924 to 2012.
It is clear that
there was an upward tendency in the number of participants in the Olympics
throughout the years. Moreover
, the percentage of male athletes was significantly higher than that of females.
As can be seen, in 1924, there were 3000 men taking part in various sports in the Olympics
, compared to just a minority of women. Over nearly a century, the figure for male competitors doubled, to 6000. Likewise
, the proportion of female counterparts also
witnessed a dramatic rise to approximately 5000 in 2012.
Regarding the second graph, about over 3000 people joined the Olympics
in the first year of the observed time. After 6 decades, the sum of that climbed considerably to 7000 and then
reached a peak of 11000 individuals at the end
of the period.Submitted by danphamngocha on
