100m Freestyle Swimming Olympics!
100m freestyle swimming is often considered as the spotlight of swimming, and has been one of the sports in the Olympics. Since the Olympics 1976, (for the 100m freestyle) male swimmers have had better times than the female swimmer, but will the female swimmer become faster and beat their time?
I made this article to explain that during the olympics, the female swimmers will get a better times than the male swimmers.

This shows that the women is slower than the men swimmer.
The Linear Regression (Lines of Best Fit)
The two lines shown, represents the trend for the male and female Freestyle Swimmers Olympic gold medalist times. Pink represents the female trend line and blue represents the male.
At a Crossroads
The data shows that in the year 1184, the women swimmers will catch up to the men swimmers. The intersection shows that the male and female swimmers are going to have the same time, and later on the females will have a better 100m freestyle swim time than the male swimmers.
