    Program data (events by sport) isn't available yet for 2028 and 2032
    .


    Therefore should say "from 1896 to 2024" not 2032.

    Your models and data analysis must ONLY use the provided data sets, with ONE exception* (see below). You may refer to additional resources, including additional data, to provide background and context or help with interpreting results (be sure to document the sources). Any additional data you obtain should strictly serve as supporting information to help explain your findings and must be properly documented.

    *Data Exception: 2028 & 2032 Olympic Program data may be obtained and used with the provided data sets for model and data analysis for Problem C.
