FIGURE 2.

Complex network model parameters (nodes and links) representation proposed for Medalists (yellow) and non-medalists (red) athletes. Every edition of the games results in two complex models. They are: The 2000 Olympic Games, which took place at Australia, in Sydney; 2004 Olympic Games, which took place in Greece, at Athens city; the 2008 Olympic Games, which took place in China, in Beijing; the 2012 Olympic Games, which took place in United Kingdom, in London; and the 2016 Olympic Games, which took place in Brazil, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The finalists of the 50 m freestyle male swimmers were considered, relating 6 transformed variables into nodes – colored (Age, Height, Weight, BMI, Number of Olympic Medals and Reaction Time) and their weighted links (black) through the resulting correlation. The links of the Medalists complex models had higher weighted links.
