Population composed of media experts, sport experts, and national athletes. There were 150 people as sample selected by convenience sampling. It was a researcher -made questionnaire. University professors confirmed the validity and reliability was desirable (Cronbach ¦Á = 0.88). Individual characteristics, normality of data distribution, and significance of hypotheses were measured by descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and Wilcoxon test respectively. Results showed that there was a significant difference between real condition and ideal condition of sport media role to develop components of championship sport (p _0.05). Values were Z = ¨C 8.645 for media experts, Z = ¨C 8.664 for sport experts, and Z = ¨C 8.652 for athletes. It seems that main reason of difference between real condition and ideal condition based on participants¡¯ attitudes is not to have comprehensive sport media programs or suitable knowledge of media experts about different dimensions of championship sport.
