(ATR) The 2017 Sports City Index has more participants than ever before, but voting is still open through the end of the month.
More than 1,100 votes have been cast for the world’s premier sports city. Around the Rings understands that the top five could include at least one or all of London, Los Angeles, or Paris. If you feel these cities are not the world’s best sports cities, make sure to vote now here.
Presented by Around the Rings and TSE Consulting, a Burson Marsteller Company, the poll includes only one measurement: cities perceived to have the strongest association with sport. Results are based on a public online vote. Those opinions will be coupled with an industry-weighted vote from sports experts comprised of 100 leaders across International Federations, National Olympic Committees, sports media and other influencers in the world of sport.
Respondents will chose from a list of 50 cities based on criteria such as staging recent and upcoming Olympic Games or other major multi-sport events, hosting professional teams, and organizing major championships or world-class events such as tennis Grand Slams and Formula 1 races.
In 2016, London (GBR) remained the world’s leading sports city for a fourth consecutive year, followed closely by Rio de Janeiro (BRA) and Lausanne (SUI). Rounding out the top five finishers were Barcelona (ESP) and Paris (FRA).
Ed Hula, Editor, Around the Rings says: "As we travel the world to cover major sports events, we can see that cities increasingly invest in the development of strong promotional campaigns to enhance their international presence and drive tourism revenues. This Ranking provides cities with a tremendous opportunity to see if their efforts are paying off! 2017 was another exciting year for sport cities and we look forward to the upcoming results. "
