2. Introduction
The Olympics capture the world's imagination every two years with
incredible athletic performances, dramatic storylines, and global
camaraderie. For media, brands, developers, and fans, the Olympics present
a tremendous opportunity to engage audiences. But activating that
opportunity requires robust, real-time Olympics data. That's where Data
Sports Group comes in.

3. Introduction
Our Olympics Data API provides the richest source of official sports,
schedule, medal, and athlete data to power Olympics-driven experiences.
Read on to learn how our API empowers partners like NBC, ESPN, and

4. With deep roots in sports data, Data Sports Group saw the lack of
accessible, structured Olympics data as a missed opportunity. We
realized the potential for media partners, advertisers, app developers,
and fans if comprehensive Olympics data could be harnessed.
In 2010, we set out to fill this gap. Our team of data engineers and
analysts built a first-of-its-kind Olympics API in partnership with official
data providers. The goal was to deliver the timeliest and most
complete results, records, stats, athlete bios, and schedules.
