About
Dataset insights
Insights are derived from contest results, not editorial bios. Each badge on an athlete profile is one finding pattern matching their record. They update every time the analytics rules are re-run, so adding a heat or correcting a place can change them.
Pattern definitions below reference division_family (analytics buckets). Athlete profile chips may show
super division labels (Men, Women's Masters, …) for readability; scoring rules are unchanged.
How results are counted
The archive records final-round results only. Heats leading up to a final are not tracked, so an athlete who competed but did not reach the final has no row for that contest.
- Event — one contest. Entering three divisions at the same contest is still one event.
- Division final — one final an athlete reached. A single contest can produce several.
- Podium — a division final finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd.
- Win — a division final finished 1st. Every win is also a podium.

Patterns are versioned. Bumping a major version means the underlying definition changed (e.g. new threshold or time window), so any older finding becomes superseded automatically.
