I don't have the same results for average age, but I did include totals for all countries.

Trying a spoiler for the first time.

Fairly simple separate data calculations - brought back together at the end of the data stream.  ggruccio_0-1626714779837.png

Here is my solution

As a few others have mentioned - I also get results different from the solution provided. Using the CreW Expect Equal Tool reveals the issues, there's a handful or so errors: So for example it says there's a problem in row 23; checking the solution provided, row 23 is Bhutan with 2 Female Athletes, 0 (or [Null]) Male Athletes - and then [Null] Total Athletes!  That can't be right.

Fun and timely challenge! '2016-08-05' for the age calculation is a useful tip

I don't think I'll make the podium for my time on this one.

I love these summary/fact-finding challenges! Like others, I had a couple of discrepancies in the total athlete counts likely due to null counts for one of the genders (I'm pretty sure my solution is correct).

Fun fact: one of my colleagues is an athlete in this dataset!

Thanks for the tip from @Blake , be careful with the age.
