Sažetak
In the first half of the 20th century, emerged a new branch of sports called “hudozenstvena gimnastika”. It is most developed in the countries of the former Soviet Union after the World War II and received final recognition in Los Angeles in 1984 (Wolf - Cvitak, 2004). According to Furjan - Mandic (2007), it is defined as "conventional sport that contains aesthetically designed and choreographically arranged acyclic movement structures, defined by the Code of Points". It was also considered an artistic sport, as a combination of modern dance and ballet (Milenkovic, 2021) because it contains beauty, elegance and harmony of movements and strives for perfectly coordinated and precisely performed movements of the body and apparatus (Jastrembskaia and Titov, 1999). Amazing the audience with various skills with a rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon, rhythmic gymnastics has long crossed the borders of Eastern Europe and is now practiced all over the world. However, success still remains in the countries of the Eastern bloc. Therefore, the issue of socioeconomic influence on the success and dominance of the same in this sport is mentioned. Although major competitions, such as the Olympic Games, were created for individual and team champions, and not for the glorification of the winning country (Olympic Movement, 2007), tables of won medals are regularly updated and dominate the media (Custonja and Skoric, 2011). The aim of this paper is to compare the influence of geographical, demographic and economic characteristics of European countries, more specifically, their surface area, number of inhabitants and gross domestic product with success in major competitions and to determinate if there is a statistically significant connection between their success at the European and World Championships and the Olympic Games with some from the characteristics.
