Zusammenfassung Während moderate sportliche Bewegung die Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit einer Risikogruppe positiv beeinflusst, sind die Befunde im Leistungssport international gemischt. Für Deutschland liegt dazu nur eine Studie zu Fußball-Nationalspielern vor. Daher wurden mit Hilfe der Daten der Mitglieder der deutschen Olympiamannschaften 1956 bis 2016 (n = 6066) Hypothesen zu Effekten im Vergleich zur Gesamtbevölkerung, zum metabolischen Stoffwechsel, zu Einzel‑, Mix- und Mannschaftssportarten, zu Doping, zum olympischen Erfolg und zum Geschlecht getestet und dabei auch die Mitgliedschaft in den Olympiamannschaften der Bundesrepublik, der DDR sowie dem wiedervereinigten Deutschland berücksichtigt. Es zeigt sich, dass die Mitglieder der deutschen Olympiamannschaften bislang eine im Vergleich mit der Gesamtbevölkerung höhere Mortalitätsrate aufweisen, es keine höheren Überlebensraten für die Mitglieder der Olympiamannschaften der alten Bundesrepublik gibt, sich keine Differenzen zwischen Sportarten finden lassen, aber steigende olympische Erfolge zu höheren Mortalitätsraten führen.

“…This basic model has been quite successful in explaining international sporting success, which has been usually operationalized by the number of Olympic medals, Olympic medal shares, or, in case of soccer, points awarded by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). Hence, a country's population size and economic performance, usually measured by gross domestic product (GDP) or gross domestic product per capita (GDP per cap), explain to a considerable degree national sporting success (for a recent survey, see Emrich and Pierdzioch, ). In addition to these “Big Two” explanations (Buts et al., :137), membership in the communist bloc was found to increase medal share at the Olympics .…”

“…In general, countries with more sport‐minded cultures (Hoffmann, Ging, and Ramasamy, , ) and sport‐specific histories (Macmillan and Smith, ) seem to be more successful in international sports. A number of scholars found that past success exerts a positive impact (Bernard and Busse, ; Maennig and Wellbrock, ), which indicates that success in international sport is to some extent persistent (Emrich and Pierdzioch, ). Although many scholars ignore the role of doping as a source of sporting success, Pierdzioch, Emrich, and Klein () as well as Noland and Stahler (, ) have provided evidence that doping accounted substantially for East German successes.…”

The article aims to contribute to the understanding of competitive dynamics and specialization in international sport by analyzing superior sporting performance (SSP) in international athletics in the period from 1999 to 2018. By applying iterative Kolmogorov‐Smirnov tests to annual bests, the study examines national SSPs. Contrary to theoretical considerations, less specialized countries are more likely to achieve SSP. Technical entry barriers and macrosocial factors also appear to play a limited role. SSP seems not to disappear due to increased international competition. The United States and Russia are identified as “sporting super powers,” able to persistently dominate a number of disciplines. The case of Russia poses fundamental questions concerning market distortions in international sport resulting from doping. The results come with substantial policy implications.

Resisting the Pressures of Globalisation: The Repeated Failure of Elite Sport Reforms in Re-United Germany

During the German divide, the two Germanys had developed quite different elite sport systems. After reunification, the expensive and compromised East German state sport system was dismantled and the West German neo-corporatist policy approach to elite sport prevailed.The neo-corporatist approach is characterised by a large number of veto players, which constantly bargain over influence and scarce resources. Globalisation and the diffusion of East German policy approaches have increased the competitive intensity in international sport and made the neo-corporatist approach increasingly anachronistic. Declining competitiveness has inspired several initiatives of the federal government to reform elite sport policymaking. So far, German elite sport seems to represent a policy domain where neo-corporatism resists the pressures of globalisation.
