ANALYSIS OF BRITISH ATHLETICS TEAM'S PERFORMANCE IN 2000 OLYMPIC GAMES

The following page compares the performance of the Great Britain & Northern Ireland Athletics team at the 2000 Olympics with its' performance at recent Games. 19 Key Performance Indicators have been calculated (see base of page for definitions) and updated after the conclusion of each days events. Note the 1980 and 1984 (and to a lesser extent 1976) events were affected by boycotts so overall standards were weaker than other Games. The number of women's events has increased over the years from 10 in 1960 to 22 in 2000.
