He revealed: Here’s the totally unexpected sport – which most Swedes followed during the Olympics: ‘A great TV sport’

Medal of success in the operating system.
Now it has been revealed which sport most Swedes follow.
After that, cross-country skiing, biathlon and hockey are all inhaled.

The Olympics were more successful with the Swedish medal. It was a record medal and many champions. What many remember is perhaps above all the stunning world record of Nils van der Poel, or the historic women’s relay gold in biathlon.

Sports number one unexpected

But when Discovery, which broadcasts the tournament, now released the numbers that Swedes follow the most, it was the big classic TV sports that got stolen in the first place. Cross-country skiing takes second place, and biathlon does not. Ice hockey, where Trey Kronor went for the bronze match, will be third.

First is curling, where the success has been massive – first, with mixed Swedish bronze, bronze for women’s team Hasselburg – and gold for team Eden. In percentage terms, it was also the most popular sport for Swedes, with 40.3 percent of the total viewership, he writes Aftonbladet.

– It’s really the power of curling. It’s a better TV sport than live sport. It’s great that so many people have seen us, Rasmus and Rano, part of Lag Eden, tell the newspaper.

“very fun”

It is noteworthy that nearly a million Swedes sat down to watch the curling final against Great Britain – at the same time as 739,000 watched the dramatic semi-final match of Tri Kronor’s match against Russia.

– I obviously felt an increased interest. Nothing else can be said about her. Especially on social media and the like. Rasmus and Rano say it’s so much fun and you get proof that we’ve achieved something.

And the Eden team celebrated, Wednesday, in Karlstad Square, and today the champions are waiting for another golden celebration. Team Eden is looking forward to the World Cup Finals, in Las Vegas, later this spring.
