Olympic Games Analytics Project in Apache Spark for beginner using Databricks (Unofficial)

Description

Are you ready to learn Apache Spark the practical way — by analyzing 120+ years of real Olympic Games data?

In this hands-on project-based course, you’ll use Apache Spark, Spark SQL, and Apache Zeppelin to explore the world’s most exciting sports dataset — the Olympic Games Dataset, containing information on athletes, countries, events, medals, ages, genders, heights, and weights spanning from 1896 to recent editions.

Instead of learning Spark through boring theory, you’ll build a complete analytics project step by step, uncovering insights like:

  • Which countries dominate Olympic Gold medals?
  • How have athlete ages and physiques evolved over time?
  • Are female athletes growing faster in participation than males?
  • Which sports produce the most champions?
  • Do athletes over 50 still win medals?

What You Will Learn

By the end of this course, you’ll confidently be able to:

  • Work with Spark DataFrames and Spark SQL
  • Load real datasets using Apache Zeppelin Notebooks
  • Write advanced SQL queries for aggregation, filtering, and joins
  • Visualize results using Zeppelin bar charts and line charts
  • Analyze Age, Height, Weight, Gender & Medal trends across decades
  • Build a portfolio-ready Olympic Analytics Dashboard
