Olympic interactive features developed by the NYTimes.

While visiting Cool Infographics, The NYTimes Olympic related interactive features compiled in one place.

Take ‘Soaring Over the Bar’ for instance. I love the look and feel of the infographics.

Justin Spring, who will be representing the United States in Beijing, explains his techniques on the high bar.

The Map of Olympic Medals gives a good overview of medals won by country.

Circles are sized by the number of medals that countries won in summer Olympic Games. Use the slider to view past Olympics, or click on a country to display a list of its medal winners.

There are 30 interactive features in all…
