So far, applying my alternative sprint points measure to look at skiers with major improvements or declines between seasons has worked OK, but when we turn to female sprinters who saw a major decline things get dicey.

Â But for the sake of symmetry, let’s look at the unhappy end of these trends. The table below shows the male skiers with the biggest drop offs […]
Also tagged dsp, men, most unimproved, SprintNow that I’ve introduced Distributed Sprint Points (DSPs), an alternate measure of sprint race performance, we’ll go ahead and give it a trial run, warts and all. Â Since DSP is decidedly still in the experimental phase, take this with a hefty grain of salt. My procedure will mostly track what I did to measure the […]
Also tagged dsp, men, most improved, SprintEarlier this week I introduced an idea I had for calculating a points-like measure for sprint racing that was applicable beyond the qualification round. Â You can go back and review the methodology here. In this post I’d like to revisit this idea and look at how these new points look when ranking athletes. Â First, I […]
