This visualization displays the popularity scores of the top 120 athletes as a horizontal bar chart, with athletes sorted in descending order and sampled x-axis ticks to manage label clutter. It uses D3 v7 APIs including `scaleBand` for the categorical axis, `scaleLinear` for the score range, and `axisBottom` and `axisLeft` for tick generation. Data is loaded from a remote CSV file via `d3.csv` with `d3.autoType` coercion, and bars are rendered as SVG rectangles with tooltips showing each athlete’s name and score.
