Is there an accessible Olympic results database?
Is there a publicly available database of Olympic Games results? Preferably with all participants, not just medal winners.
Best I could find is Database Olympics, but it doesn;t allow to run your own queries agains it, and only contains medal winner.

http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/ [they also have MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL databases, all of it free. Sports-Reference and Wikipedia are the two websites I donate money to yearly]
Thanks a lot that's almost what I weas looking for. I would have liked to be able to download it though.
Not quite a database, but you can download the past Olympic reports from this website.
i doubt the people who amassed this data ("100,000 man-hours of work") would give it away for free. but it is nice of them to provide it in this format for free. and that site has create search engines, great linking, and great support.
Yes it's understandable, but surprising it took that much time. I mean I thought there must be some kind of almanachs published that would be easy to digitize, or that MOC would release this data.
