The following graphs compare Ireland's Olympiad performances over the years by calculating the percentage of teams placed below Ireland. In other words, if the Irish team was placed n-th out of a total of N teams, then the percentage score is 100(N-n)/N. On the left the results are plotted in chronological order, while on the right they are ranked by percentage score.
Currently, the Bled 2002 team (Baburin, Kelly, Quinn, Heidenfeld, Orr, Collins) is in the lead for the men, while Dubai 1986 (Cronin, Delaney, Connolly, O'Siochru) is in the lead for the women.
