The sport was a Swiss sports newspaper that appeared from 1920 to 1999, first three times a week and then as a weekly newspaper.
history
On December 20, 1920, Julius Wagner , a former participant in the Olympic Games and co-founder of the Swiss Olympic Committee , brought out the first edition of the sport. As an organ for all branches of sport, the newspaper soon achieved an international reputation thanks to in-depth reporting. Wagner sold the title to the publisher Jean Frey just six months later .
The sport appeared on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and even daily during major events such as the Olympic Games in Europe or the Tour de Suisse . In the 1970s, the sport reached its heyday with 58,000 subscribers, a certified circulation of 92,425 and a peak circulation of over 120,000 copies. As a pioneer of Swiss sports reporting, he became a kind of journalist forge.
The structural change in the industry, however, also affected the trade journal: After various changes of ownership of the publisher and a relaunch as a weekly newspaper, «Sport» appeared for the last time on October 18, 1999.
Look at
Because of the well-developed international section, it became compulsory reading in sports newsrooms in German-speaking and Scandinavian countries. It was beneficial that “sport” had a good relationship with the international sports organizations in Switzerland and that it came from a neutral country. The Norwegian radio presented the «sport» in its program on «world famous newspapers».
