thank you for posting the source!
this isn’t quite right, because the datasets are a bit “apples to oranges” - but there is still certainly something going on here.
the ioc report was only looking at 35 and under athletes and the maron study was only looking at american athletes. the total cardiac arrest tally being compared to those numbers from 21-22 is global, without age restriction, and also seems to include people who may or may not be considered “athletes” depending on your criteria.
however, in any case - having the same/similar amount in a single year to ~40 years combined is very disturbing.
yea, it's a mess and clearly selling a song.
The bottom line is as you said, messed up. Which also somewhat explains all the maligned data records.
This study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17143117/ was not trying to estimate the total number of incidences when they came up with the 1,101 figure. 1,101 is what they found in the literature.
This study https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.108.804617 did attempt to estimate the total number of incidence (from 1980 to 2006) and came up with 1,866.
