Olympic fever has gripped many of us. This edition could provide a much closer finish at the top of the table with China and USA running head-head. China being the host nation, could have the home advantage to topple US leadership this Olympics. Anyway lets wait and watch....
Some of the Olympics enthusiasts here at Zoho thought about building a Live Olympics 2008 Dashboard for a quick preview of the latest trends. We used Zoho DB & Reports to upload the latest Olympics results periodically and built some insightful reports. We designed a live dashboard using Zoho Wiki collating some of the top reports created. You can access this @ http://olympics2008.wiki.zoho.com
Some of the reports available:
1. Day by Day Medal progress in Olympics 2008 of top performing countries
2. China vs USA head-head comparison
3. Top 7 countries - By Overall Medal count, By Men Event Winners, By Women Event Winners
4. Performance of a Country when being a Olympics Host vs as Non Host
5. many more...
You can also access the entire public Olympic 2008 database done in Zoho DB & Reports.
So just bookmark the Olympics Dashboard, keep track of the progress and enjoy the games.....

Is there an official RSS/XML feed for getting the scores or are these just scraped off the Olympics site?
Wow - great work. Zoho gets the Gold medal for making data visually useful ;)
[...] Olympics Highlights and News. Zoho, an online office suite provider, is yet another service to join the Olympics [...]
jsimone, we are scraping the HTML, periodically. I am not aware of an RSS/XML feed.
[...] Via Zoho Blogs [...]
After all, Olympic is one time every four years. China is so great this time, the opening ceremony, the number of medals, all of these make the world rethink about this old country with 5000 years of history.
