CC BY 4.0 and the LICENSE file has been
removed. The package adds no restrictions beyond CC BY 4.0, so per CRAN
the file is unnecessary. The upstream data-source attribution it carried
is already recorded in the README, in
citation("olympicAthletes"), and in the
@source fields of each dataset’s help page.\dontrun{} block in the
olympic_athletes example with @examplesIf, so
the dplyr/tidyr example runs whenever those Suggests packages are
installed (per CRAN policy on runnable examples).citation("olympicAthletes") now returns all three
entries the README promises: the package plus its two upstream data
sources (the rgriff23 ‘Olympic_history’ dataset and Olympedia).volleyball_athletes,
curling_athletes, and season_counts were
missing).editions and olympic_athletes docs cited
native-script host-city names (Cyrillic, CJK, and Hangul examples such
as the native forms of Moskva, Tokyo, Beijing, and PyeongChang) that
pdflatex cannot typeset. The docs now list only the romanized forms;
Latin-1 diacritics (e.g. “Athína”, “München”) are retained.man/figures/logo.png (885x1024, 512 KB -> 480 px, 184
KB); the full-resolution master is kept at the repo-root
hex.png.Language: en-US and an inst/WORDLIST
so spelling::spell_check_package() runs clean (the flagged
words were all proper nouns and British spellings, not typos).DESCRIPTION with angle
brackets and added a cran-comments.md for submission.R CMD check --as-cran now reports 0 errors, 0 warnings,
and only the routine new-submission / CC-BY-license NOTE.season_counts (2 rows): athlete-event row counts
per Olympic season, pre-counted so plotting exercises can contrast

(1.4 MB — the second-largest file in the package) to bring the built
package back under CRAN’s 5 MB source-package guideline. It was a pure
subset of olympic_athletes (year >= 2000);

ModernDive exercises that used it now use
team_sport_athletes, athletics_athletes, or an
explicit filter().olympic_athletes_1960
(referenced nowhere in the book, exercises, or teaching materials);
recreate with
olympic_athletes |> filter(year == 1960, season == "Summer").usa_summer_medals (30 rows — one per Summer Games the USA
attended; note the boycotted 1980 Games have no row),
art_competitions_athletes (3,578 rows — the 1912-1948 Art
Competitions entrants), and team_sport_athletes (10,912
rows — Basketball, Volleyball, and Curling combined, for cross-group
distribution comparisons).recent_olympic_athletes to
olympic_athletes_2000_2026 for a clearer, time-explicit
name. The data is unchanged (year >= 2000, i.e. the
2000–2026 Games).volleyball_athletes (4,792 rows) and
curling_athletes (961 rows) convenience subsets, parallel
to the existing basketball_athletes /

examples.noc/team (country)
values: rows where the country was unknown but the same athlete
(id) appears in another Games with a known country are now
backfilled (unambiguous cases only). Reduces NA
noc from 10,094 to 3,907 rows; the rest are athletes who
never appear with any known country, or who competed for more than one
NOC, and are deliberately left NA.paris_2024_top_medals: the ten countries
that won the most total medals at the Paris 2024 Summer Games, in long
format (one row per country-and-medal-type: country,
noc, medal, count). A small, tidy
dataset built for barplot examples (stacked, dodged, proportional)
without filtering the ~90 medal-winning nations in
medal_table.olympic_athletes_2024 (Paris 2024 Summer Games) and
olympic_athletes_1960 (Rome 1960 Summer Games). The 2024
subset is small enough to show over-plotting in a height vs
weight scatterplot without the full dataset’s scale; paired
with the near-complete 1960 subset it supports generational comparisons
of athlete physiques. Both have columns identical to
olympic_athletes.athletics_athletes,
gymnastics_athletes, and basketball_athletes
(single-sport subsets of olympic_athletes), plus
recent_olympic_athletes (Games since 2000,
year >= 2000). These let teaching examples focus on one
sport or recent Games without a filter(). Columns are
identical to olympic_athletes.olympic_athletes bio coverage substantially improved
for the five olympedia-scraped editions (2018-2026). Team-event and
multi-athlete-row athletes (Ice Hockey, Curling, Bobsleigh, Football,
Hockey, Rowing, relays, doubles, pairs, …) previously had no
age and mostly no height/weight;
these bios have now been fetched from olympedia. age is now
~100% complete across all five editions, and height/
weight coverage rose accordingly (e.g. 2018 Winter height
~81% -> ~96%, Paris 2024 ~24% -> ~34%). The refresh is purely
additive — row count, athlete roster, and medal counts are
unchanged.editions: Tokyo 2020 participants
corrected 11,319 -> 11,318 to match olympedia’s revised count.olympic_athletes columns
are now lowercase snake_case (id, name,
sex, age, height,
weight, team, noc,
games, year, season,
sport, event, medal), matching
the convention already used by medal_table and
editions. The upstream rgriff23 TitleCase headers
(ID, Name, NOC, …) are no longer
preserved.olympic_athletes, the City column has been
replaced by city_local_latin and city_english.
In editions, city has been replaced by
city_local_latin and city_english.
city_local_latin always uses the Latin alphabet —
Latin-script names keep their native diacritics ("Athína",
"München", "Montréal",
"Ciudad de México") and non-Latin-script names use a
standard romanization ("Moskva", "Tokyo",
"Beijing", "PyeongChang") rather than the
city’s native script.medal_table now covers every Olympic edition from
Athens 1896 through Milano-Cortina 2026 (1,929 rows, up from 273). Two
new columns: edition_id (Olympedia’s internal edition
number) and notes.editions now covers every Olympic edition from Athens
1896 through Milano-Cortina 2026, including cancelled Games (62 rows, up
from 5).Initial release.
olympic_athletes — 314,749 athlete-event rows spanning
Athens 1896 to Milano-Cortina 2026, extending the rgriff23
Olympic_history dataset (1896-2016) with five additional
editions scraped from olympedia.org.medal_table — 273-row verified medal table for the five
new editions (2018, 2020, 2022, 2024, 2026), with one row per (Games,
NOC).editions — 5-row metadata table covering
opening/closing dates, participants, NOC count, medal events, and
disciplines for each new edition.These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
