# Data Visualization project
This is the Data Visualization project of Valeria Insogna and Cecilia Zagni.
The dataset contains info about results from 17 major international skating events from October 2016 through December 2017.
The project addresses the following questions about the data:
* Do the judges favour compatriot athletes?
* Which athletes present the most difficult elements and how are they ranked?
* Are elements more important than components in establishing the final ranking?
At the end of each event it oversees, the [International Skating Union](http://www.isu.org/) releases a PDF containing all scores given for each performance which are of public domain. That report is known as a "Protocol," and an example can be [found here](http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1718/gpf1718/gpf2017_protocol.pdf).
You can find the list of those 17 competitions at the following [link](https://github.com/BuzzFeedNews/2018-02-figure-skating-analysis).
