About Makeover Monday
MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”
Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.
The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

Happy International Women’s Day! This is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. So today, we are looking at the women in Olympics! Per this new report, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) hits new record in 2020 with 47.7% women. Not only the percentage of committee members, we have also seen steady increase in women participation in Olympics.

Insights
- Both % of women participants and % of women’s events have been steadily increasing since 1900s, and now is getting much closer to 50%;
- The two rates increase at a very similar speed and pattern as the increase of women’s events is definitely a catalyst of more women participating in Olympics.
