Olympic Games has been the most important sport event in the world and all of the countries try to get the best results from many years before the Olympic games with the long, medium and short term programs. For this reason, identifying the factors affected the success of athletes is very important. So the study is to investigate and prioritize sports factors affecting the success of athletes of Tehran province for the achievement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. The statistical population was faculty members of physical education and sport sciences (especially sport management), senior managers of the National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the heads of sport federations and the heads of sports boards in Tehran province. The statistical sample continued to reach the theoretical saturation (n=29) for the interview. In the quantitative section, the final questionnaire was distributed among 25 experts. Weighting and prioritization of each factor were performed using Shannon entropy.
The results showed that 98 sports indexes could influence the success of athletes of Tehran Province for the achievement of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. In this analysis, indexes were classified into 3 levels: macro, meso and micro levels. The macro level is related to the peripheral environment (community), the meso level to the sporting organizations (including the Federations and National Olympic Committee, the Directorate General for Sport and Youth, etc.) and the micro level to the athlete. The micro level is directly influenced by the success of athletes, and the middle level and the macro level indirectly. This model is an approach that identifies and determines the path of activity of sports officials in Tehran province for the success of athletes. Therefore, senior officials and sports officials should pay special attention to the indicators identified in this study and their priorities. So that by applying and implementing them, effective steps can be taken to achieve success in various international sports, including the Olympic quota and then in the Olympic Games. Athletes should also pay attention to micro-level indicators and try to use them and empower themselves to succeed in sports fields and ultimately the pride of the country.
