Abstract

In the German sports science, the national elite sport promotion system is a steady
topic of discussions. The federal government and the German Olympic Sports Confederation
(DOSB) expect new impetus of the reformed elite sport system in the areas
of, inter alia, young athletes promotion, scientific support and the coaches‘ situation
in the German elite sport. The present article is a discipline-specific approach
on these three issues for men’s artistic gymnastics. The first author served in various
functions in German gymnastics for several years (former squad athlete, young athletes‘
coach, academic teaching) and is familiar with essential problems due to close
communication with gymnasts, coaches, scientists and officials. The purpose of this
article is to point out specific challenges in men’s artistic gymnastics in view of the
present debate on the German elite sport promotion system. This is intended to stimulate
further discussions on solution approaches concerning the common exploitation
of potentials.
