Here's one for Germany, asking in which sport Germans have a strong interest : https://www.marktmeinungmensch.de/studien/die-beliebtesten-sportarten-der-deutschen/ To no one surprise, Fussball gets the more votes, then it's getting more surprising with ski jumping as a number two, athletics still a popular sport, etc. Ski jumping being this high in Germany is surprising? How? I wonder how many countries would realistically not have football in at least the top-2 in terms of popularity. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

To me at least, but I don't follow the sport much 3 minutes ago, heywoodu said: I wonder how many countries would realistically not have football in at least the top-2 in terms of popularity. In Europe, I can only think about Irlande (and that's arguably). Outside of it ? Canada, the US, India maybe, perhaps some caribbeans nations (Jamaica ?), and most oceanian nations (Australia to start with). heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
