On Instagram, Facebook & Co.: Dorothea Wierer depends on everyone

The men's volleyball star is Simone Giannelli is the clear number one with around 360.000 followers . In the overall ranking of active athletes, however, he cannot come close to holding a candle to Dorothea Wierer, Tania Cagnotto and Carolina Kostner. The three athletes, who like to show off their glamorous side, sometimes posing sexy in bikinis and then being photographed sweaty during training, together give more than 2 million Internet users insights into their private lives. However, there is a change in leadership at the top: With 793.938 followers, Wierer has passed Cagnotto (782.911). The biathlon world champion is followed by more than half a million fans on Instagram alone, so her lack of an official Twitter account is not at all a big deal. Cagnotto, on the other hand, uses all three platforms – and does so extremely successfully. The same applies to Kostner, who has a total of 476.111 followers. Manuela Mölgg is still at the forefront Curious: The only one who can compete with Wierer, Cagnotto and Kostner when it comes to social media is an athlete who has long since ended her career: Manuela Mölgg. The former ski racer is still followed by 765.000 fans, almost 700.000 on Facebook alone. The other, still active athletes from South Tyrol follow at a considerable distance. Extreme mountaineer Tamara Lunger, skier Nicol Delago and freestyler Arianna Tricomi lead the chasing pack. Who are the most popular men on social networks? read here.
