Polls are good, they are better than (educated) guesses anyway.

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? :d 

 

I wonder how many countries would realistically not have football in at least the top-2 in terms of popularity.

This is how Google's Search Engine Metrics calculate the popularity of some of the Olympic Team Sports for the last 5 years, the results seem pretty realistic, but I wonder what Totallympics users thi

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).

It's not even really on public TV except for (I think) the final of the national league and a few minutes in the weekly sports roundup :p 

 

Possibly world championships are shown in highlight format, or maybe on a paid channel, but I really have no idea :d 

 

And boccia of all things beating out ice hockey or mountainbike or something. What.

It's funny, because when you hear promoters of hyper marginal sport like korfbal here, they always talk of their sport in other countries like something super popular, right next to football, but it's rarely the case :p

 

Same with honkbal (love that name)

Australia now (2021)

I'm so jealous of the Australian sport landscape with four different football codes ranked there :wub: Half of the Australian population is at least "neutral passionate" (???) about AFL and tennis.

 

All right, that's 3 countries, only 200 to go :cheerlieconfused:

:SVK

 

Last Year 2021, The Ministry of School, Science, Research and Sports of Slovak Republic has published a survey on the popularity of sports: Slovaks chosed 25 sports :p

Sorry to disappoint but honkbal is just baseball, not yet another hyper-marginal Dutch sport.
