Methodology - Sport
Data on the state budget expenditure on sport have been obtained from the final account of the state budget of the Czech Republic available on the website of the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic. It is the expenditure that was actually drawn from the state budget for sport in a given year, not the amounts approved in the Act on the State Budget for that year. Data on the expenditure on sports representation are the sum of data on expenditure on sports representation by the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of the Interior and data on the development and promotion (support) of sports representation financed from the budget chapter of the National Sports Agency and the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports.
Data on the participation and rankings of Czech sport representatives in the Olympic Games and on medals won by Czech representatives at world championships and European championships have been provided since 2022 by the National Sports Agency.
The Czech Union of Sport (CUS) Information system with data on the membership base of sports clubs and physical education units registered in CUS district associations was used to process data on children and youth involved in sport.
