Abstract: Abstract Scholars who explored the factors behind countries’ success in elite sport have all referred to the Olympic Medal table to measure this type of success. This chapter first draws attention to the inaccuracies of the Olympic Medal Table then gives a detailed account on the World Ranking of Countries in Elite Sport, an innovative research-based ranking methodology, which measures the performance of all the National Olympic Committees in all recognized international competitions on a yearly basis. By ranking all countries, the World Ranking of Countries in Elite Sport will allow for more holistic and accurate comparative studies measuring the success of national elite sport policies.
