For the first time in history, the National Organizing Committee for an Olympic games provided a high-quality XML-based real-time data feed for all activities related to Olympic competitions to each participating country. The consumption of this data provided an unprecedented opportunity to observe in detail how the games were unfolding from the level of country, to the level of individual athletes, and in some cases at cross-sections of the competition as it unfolded. This talk will show how London 2012 Olympic data was used to visualize and analyze events during the London 2012 Games and how it is likely to change the approach to Olympic Sport Analysis going forward.
