Elite Female Race Walking Performance at South American Championships, 2002-2024

23.3 KB of anonymized data from official World Athletics competition results evaluates the association between competition altitude and performance in elite female 20-km race walking athletes. The dataset includes competition edition, altitude, finishing time, relative performance variables, and altitude categories for South American Championships held between 2002 and 2024. Author Alan García Yánez processed the data exclusively for research and statistical analysis purposes.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between altitude and finishing time based on competition altitude data
• Categorizing athlete performance relative to altitude based on derived relative performance variables
• Analyzing performance trends over time based on competition edition and finishing time

Strengths

• Data originates from the official World Athletics database, suggesting a reliable source.
• The dataset covers a 22-year time span from 2002 to 2024, providing longitudinal context.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
