What about the weather
Regionally, Africa has a reputation for dominating in the field of running. However, Africa has the fewest athletes per (competing) country. Why?
Running events are only found in the Summer Olympics, so maybe Africa does not send many athletes to the Winter Games. This would explain the low number of athletes when looking across all Olympic Games.
Explore that hypothesis by looking at athlete counts by season (Summer versus Winter).
