Abstract

Correlations between the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 editions of the WRCES were made with the population, GDP, GDP per capita, area, population density, and research output rankings of the same countries for the six corresponding years. These correlations calculi have showed that GDP and research output have the strongest impact on countries’ results in elite sport. Meanwhile, population and GDP per capita, often highlighted by some scholars and mainstream media, actually have a minor impact.
