Running, swimming or cycling? Austria is looking for a national sport

First of all: surveys such as rankings should generally be treated with caution. And, also in advance: Yes, for once we are largely ignoring football here and now. Also in the knowledge that a national team’s entry into the European Championship round of 16 or a football derby with all its noise attracts more attention than the second stage of the Tour of Austria, a 200 m freestyle final at the short course swimming championship or a cancellation of the Wachau -Marathons due to bad weather. When it comes to sales and ratings, there is no getting around football as the number one sport. Please, you’re welcome.
