I was interested on playing with Neo4j with some real data and so I grabbed some from the FIS site and tried to play with it. The outcome is a graph that stores the results of alpine skiing races.
The idea is to have a graph that is easy to navigate: you can start from the Alpine skiing node, then go to Ladies, then to the current season and then to the first race, then to the next race, and so on. Every race has its type (Downhill, Slalom , Giant Slalom , Super G, Super Combined) and location. Athletes are connected to the races through their results. Seasons, races and results are linked lists.
2014 will be the year of the XXII winter olympic games in Sochi. Go Switzerland!

Another way to calculate ranking points
Added a second graph with the ranking points. Every node is a ranking position, with its related points. Doing so, the association between rank and points is no more in the query, but in the database.
