Olympic Maths

The Olympics are a fantastic way to include real life maths into your program.

How fast is the fastest runner?  How far can you run in this time?

What was the biggest throw in the discus, javelin, hammer, shot put?  What was the difference between the gold, silver and bronze measurements?

Over time the high jumpers have been able to jump higher.  How tall is the winner of the Mens/womens high jump and how much higher than their height did they jump?

Graph the high jump heights over the past 4 olympics.
