    Congrats to him. Am I right in thinking Skiing is pretty big over there? Like football big?

    Ski jumping is a major sport in Switzerland. In 2002 when Ammann arrived after winning 2 golds he was greeted by hundreds and hundreds of people at the airport

    Out of curiosity, which is the biggest sport in Switzerland if not skiing?
