The traffic during the Games represents a quadrupling of the audience of less than a year ago and extends Sports.com’s leadership at the top of the European sports sites table.

‘With the Olympics, Champions League and Premier Leagues in Europe in full swing, we were delighted to break a single day record and to see our audience continue to grow exponentially.’ said Tom Jessiman. ‘From Euro 2000 to our involvement with Wimbledon, The Open and the Olympics, this has been an extraordinary summer for Sports.com to build on its lead as the most visited European sports site.’
