The significance of the study of marriage chances of top female ahtletes extends beyond the private sphere. Marriage chances may influence the probability of reaching the status of top athlete, the early conclusion of sports careers and the course of life subsequent to such careers. They may indirectly affect even the quality of top female sport in a given country.
