Some track-and-field national governing bodies send athletes to World Championship and Olympic Games (WC/OG) to gain experience that may positively impact future success, even though athletes may not be expected to place high or medal. However, it is unclear if this strategy is advantageous for future medal attainment. The purpose of this study was to determine if participation and/or advancement at a track-and-field athlete’s first WC/OG influences the odds of future medalling.
