The graph illustrates the trend of Olympics participants since it begun in the year 1924, till the year 2004. It shows the overall, as well as gender-specific pattern of participants entering the event, denoted by a total of three line graphs. The overall number of participants increased from about 3500 participants in 1924, to a grand total of close to 12000 participants in the year 2004. There were two key periods of steep increase in participants, from 1924 to 1944, and a sligtly steeper increase from 1984 to 2004. The overall contribution of male participants has always been significantly higher than that of female participants, up till 2004, where the numbers have almost equalized. There were about 3000 male participants in the first Olympics in 1924, which constituted the majority of the participants that year. There was a slight increase in participants from then to 1944, which resultantly increased the total number of partipants as well. There has been progression in number of male participants across the years post 1944, but the numbers have not had any significant spike or drop. The graph of female participants in the Olympics shows a varying trend, quite different from that of male participants. The first Olympics had just a few hundred participants, and although there is evident progression in numbers of female participants through the years, and at a higher rate than that of male participants, the overall number of female participants has always been much lower than their male counterparts by at least 2000. This did however change between 1984 to 2004, where there was a sharp increase in female players entering, from about 2000 participants in 1984, to close to 6000 in the year 2004, bringing about an almost equally distribution of male and female particpants in the 2004 Olympics, The overall increase of participants can also be attributed to the rise in female particpation in the Olympics. Overall, there has been a large increase of Olympic participants across the years, which initially started with a major male population, and has since evolved to a more even distribution of the genders post the rise in female participation post 1984.

The line graph depicts the Olympic contestants since its commencement in the year 1924, for every 20 years, till 2004. This is categorised by the gender of contestants for making comparisons. Overall, there is a drastic escalation in the total number of participants over the 80 years analysed, from under 4000 to a significant figure of 12000. At first glance, the male demographic reveals a higher proportion compared to females at all times showing a dynamic disparity, which decreases majorly over the years, with a slight gap in 2004. On the one hand, there was a steady increase in female contestants at the same rate till 1984, however, the rate upsurges exponentially from 2000 to 4000 contestants in just one Olympic tournament event. On the other hand, a reverse trend is shown in males. The rate is greater in the beginning years (roughly 3000 to 5000 participants after the first event) to a more gradual growth later touching almost 7000 over 3 Olympic events' periods.
