Abstract

The paper reports the results of regressions testing hypotheses concerning the medal-winning success of Olympic teams. It is found that while traditional economic and political factors are important, many inherent national characteristics such as geographical, demographic and cultural factors have a significant and pronounced impact. It is concluded that scope for public sports policy exists and the degree to which the inherent characteristics limit it are discussed. Copyright 2002 by Taylor and Francis Group
