[–] leekleak@lemmy.world 44 points 3 months ago (1 children)

At this rate in 2028 they'll be at -11th

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

I like how the position axis starts at 0, maybe that’s for a year they don’t qualify

[–] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

If the article is about how just a few countries are dominating the podiums, I think this is an incredibly effective graph.

[–] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The values are even incorrect. 2008, they got 63rd. 2024 they got 19th.

[–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

...does it not say 63rd for 2008?

[–] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah it does. I fucked up, they actually placed 64th and not 63rd. Importantly I'm not a reporter.

[–] the_toast_is_gone@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

This reminds me of that chart showing gun deaths over a few years that showed the line going down the more deaths there were. That made sense graphically, they colored it in to look like blood dripping down, but this is just dumb.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 months ago

At this rate, at the next Olympics they'll be in -10.5 place!

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

WE'RE NUMBER ZERO! WE'RE NUMBER ZERO!

The Y axis is the absolute number of medals and the labels for each data point are relative rankings. If one country got all the medals except one and Ireland got that one remaining medal, there would be a data point at Y=1 with the label "2nd".

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That theory might work if the data point labels didn't directly correspond with the Y axis labels.

[–] wolfpack86@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah but it's not. At all.

They've beent taking single digit medals.

[–] UnbalancedFox@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

My nose is bleeding 😪

[–] Photon@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Tbh I don't see where this is bad (except maybe the 0 label). Why should "up" always be "better"? There are countless other examples where this is not the case. Or am I missing something here?

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It measures place, rather than performance (like medals got). It's a line graph, when there's no events between the data points, so it should be a bar graph. And yeah, up is better.

[–] friendlymessage@feddit.org 5 points 3 months ago

A bar chart for this kind of data makes no sense to me as the bar doesn't really represent anything. A scatter plot is a good choice and adding a connection line for readability is imo not so bad. It should however be inverted going up to 1 and not down to 0.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 months ago

Line chart is fine here as it’s the same measure over time.
