The data was scraped from the IWF website. The results are most, if not all, results from IWF sanction events since 1998. This can be found in clean_data/all_results.csv or separated by event in the clean_data/results folder. Athlete data can be found in clean_data/athletes.csv. Event data can be found in clean_data/events.csv. Athlete data and event data both have ids that match to the results. All the data as R data.frames with correct data types can be found in the all_data.Rdata file.
