Winning an Information Is Beautiful Award
The absolute highlight of my year was winning my second Information Is Beautiful Award. This time for my sport animations. Read more about the project
Biathlon - Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics
A biathlon race combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. If an athlete misses a shot they need to ski a penalty loop (or in some formats extra time gets added to their total time). This makes biathlon an intense, unpredictable sport where positions in rankings may change any second. If an athlete is a fast skier but can’t concentrate on the shooting, they can move back even 10-40 positions after a few misses. See full gallery
Circle segment - New editable chart designs on PlotParade
Waterpolo - 2022 World Aquatics Championships
Swimming - 2022 World Aquatics Championships
During a swimming event athletes swim 3 times: a heat round, a semifinal, and a final if they are in the top 8. These animations help to compare these 3 results.
Tennis - Roland Garros and Wimbledon
Tennis scoring is very complicated, it's also difficult to visualize all details that goes into a set. This visualization focuses on the sets and break (on the top) and gives a quick glimpse into all points, rallies and lost break points that defines a match.
Tennis v.2 - Wimbledon
I created a more detailed static visualization for Wimbledon. I kept every detail: serve speed, 2nd serves, double faults, rally lengths, all in one image. The expectation is that a player will hold their serve, so I'm focusing on the lost service games. 3 matches of Djokovic and Kyrgios .
Ice Hockey - Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics
Soccer - 2022 FIFA World Cup
