OUR RANKINGS
The World Ranking of Countries in Elite Sport (WRCES) is a research-based annual ranking, started in 2014, aiming at evaluating the performances of all the countries having National Olympic Committees (NOCs) in all the sports recognized by SportAccord, and others, not yet recognized, but having a significant media popularity. The WRCES attributes coefficients for each sport based on two variables: popularity (to what extent a sport is covered in each country's sports media platforms) and its universality (how widely it is practiced around the world). With the WRCES, everything each country's athletes do counts.List of the sports and disciplines considered by the WRCES
