Duration of broadcasts and success of the national athletes are the two key elements for attracting larger TV audience
4 * Reach of TV audience watching the broadcast for at least 10 continuous minutes Source: TNS Media Research, TV Index Russia, audience All 18+
In 2016 athletics has lost its leading positions in TV viewership for the most part due to the absence of Russian athletes and decrease in total duration of airtime. Basketball moved out of top-10 for the same reasons.
Sports with both athletic success and greater airtime, such as fencing, handball and synchronized swimming, moved to top -10 sports watched on TV in 2016.
Increase in airtime on its own is not always sufficient for reach growth such as in beach volleyball.

5 Source: IQ Buzz – social media monitoring, August 5 -21, 2016, all posts in Russian
Social media generated over 24,000 mentions of Russian Olympic athletes with overwhelming majority of post originating on Vkontakte.
Winning athletes were in the focus of online discussions. Therefore sports represented by multiple successful athletes form the top-10. Daria Klishina’s exceptional case draws attention to the athletics.
Beslan Mudranov dominates the social media landscape as the winner of gold medal in the first day of Rio Olympics who received large scale welcome back at home. He was mostly mentioned on Twitter – 4822 tweets.
