Auralization of what separates places at the Winter Olympics (aud)
The NY Times has a page which shows visual and audio representations of how just how little time separates rankings in alpine skiing, skeleton, bobsled, luge, and speedskating events. "At the Olympics, the blink of an eye can be all that separates the gold medalist from the 10th-place finisher. In some events, this is obvious. But in others, with athletes racing one by one, the closeness of the race is harder to perceive."
