Olympics and FIBA summer

[ItsGoTime]

This is difficult queston. Mainly beacuse we (Slovenians) are mostly connected to the succes, and a lot of times it doesn't depend on which sport athlete competes. And a lot of people suddenly becomes an ''experts about the sport and knows everything about it'' even if ''yesterday'' they didn't even hear about it. 

So here in Slovenia the team sports which are (always) popular are football, basketball, handball... And then individual sports like skiing, ski jumping and cycling...

I wouldn't call them a stars, but in that way Luka is probably a little more popular than Pogačar. But that's just my opinion. Luka is a person who competes almost a whole year and in similar way there is also a speaking about him. On the other side, Pogačar, Roglič and others competes a lot less than Luka and talking about them is mainly focused only to the time where they're compete on the biggest tournaments (TDF, Olympics, Tour de Slovenia, Vuelta...).

Similar popularity (like Pogačar and Roglič) had/have also some athletes in ski sports, like Tina Maze, Peter Prevc and others.

On the team sports also depend a lot of national team succes. Jan Oblak is one of the best goalkeepers on the world, Iličić was also good in CL but for now we didn't have some big succes in footballl and similar to this results is also speaking about them in media. Here we could also put Anže Kopitar from LA Kings (NHL).

But when succes is there, some athletes suddenly become a very popular. Like in volleyball when we were 2 in european championship, or in handball when we are fighting for semifinals.

But, for now, i would put Luka a little bit higher then all others.

Sounds like D/FW fans for any other team other than the Cowboys!
