Assumption: COUNTRY is the country team playing, unsure whether to call it COUNTRY or TEAM; An ATHLETE belongs to a country (country.code) and when competing the compete.team1_code links to country.code; Athlete’s “height” is in centimetres and “weight” is in kilograms. PARTICIPANT (supertype) and ATHLETE & COUNTRY (subtypes) were rolled down with COMPETE (many2many associative table) related to ATHELETE & COUNTRY to cover individual ATHLETE sports (eg. Swimming – athlete1_id) + ATHLETE vs ATHLETE sport (eg. Boxing – athlete1_id + athlete2_id) + COUNTRY team sport (eg. Team relay – team1_code) + COUNTRY team vs COUNTRY team sports (eg. Basketball – team1_code + team2_code). Score1 and score2 can be a rank, goals scored, points, time taken, or one of the RESULT_TYPEs; these fields are stored as CHAR. Olympic schedule data from: https://www.olympiandatabase.com/; Athlete data from:
