Week 3 (Final Chance) Olympic games Deep Dive
Rampie, the Athletes table doesn't resolve the issue as it creates a gap with the relationship between Games, Disciplines, Events and the actual medal. E.g. sure you can see 28 medals for michael phelps, however you can only see where he obtained 16 of those 28. There's an issue with the data, it's not the job of an intelligence analyst to fix data issues.
You’re absolutely right, an athlete’s full career cannot be completely reconstructed from the Results table,
That said, it would’ve been better to scope the analysis around the data that is reliable, rather than presenting visually strong insights on inaccurate numbers. Choosing accuracy over completeness is part of an intelligence analyst’s responsibility.

Well, in that case, I hope you noted that the entire results dataset is missing tonnes of discipline and event level data for literally every game ever held.
