From the creator (not me)
!! ATTENTION !! Not all disciplines are shown, as only 5,148 out of 11,000+ athletes have their height information available on the official Olympics website. Hopefully, they will update the info eventually, as height plays a major role in disciplines such as rowing, weightlifting, and gymnastics. Data is from Kaggle, which seems webscraped from the official olympics website. Done in R, code can be found on my github. The y axis has been sorted by MEDIAN height, men and women combined.
I love how the French flag is a backdrop here
