The data shows how the games are still dominated by the Olympic superpowers
of the US, UK, Russia, China, Germany and Australia. Together, the countries
account for 2,720 athletes - one in four of all the athletes in the games.
Team GB, as the host nation, has more athletes than any other country on
this database: 557 registered (which is a few more than the official list
published here), followed by the US (534), Russia (441), Australia (414),
Germany (395). China has 379.
Track and field athletics dominates with 2,242 athletes, but after that (and
excluding team games), there's swimming (948), then shooting with 391 and
Judo with 390.
Some 44% of all athletes are women (highest numbers from the UK). In terms
of percentage of the major teams are: Japan (53%), Russia (52%), the US (51%
), the UK is further down the list with 48%, behind Ethiopia
The priorities of each team are interesting - for the Olympic superpowers,
these are some of the key facts:
• China - 6% of the team are competing in shooting (as many as are
basketball players), another 4% are badminton players - higher than any
other major country
• Germany - 3% are equestrians, higher than the UK, China and the US
• Russia - 4% are wrestlers, higher than any other superpower (the UK
has a tiny percentage, 0.2%)
• UK - 5% of Team GB are taking part in cycling event, which although
high is behind Germany (6.3%) and a host of other smaller countries,
including France, Spain, Ecuador - and Iran
US - 23.4% of the US team are competing in athletics, compared to just 14%
of the Chinese.
