These sports were humanly curated by Decathlon staff with data from 40+ years of field expertise.
We do plan on expanding research on this data with the help of our community, so application developers and/or data researchers can get the most out of it.
The data provided here is a result of countless hours of research and our goal is to make it easy for Sport Tech startups to get ahead by quickly having access to metrics such as popularity, density, weather-based recommendations etc...
Our team has worked really hard to put together an inclusive list of sports, but we know that sport modalities can differ wildly from country to country. If you can't find info about a specific sport using our API, please don't hesitate in contacting us at developers@decathlon.com
