Victor Wembanyama Ranks 2nd Among French Kids' Favorite Personalities
Singer Soprano has once again claimed the top spot in this popularity ranking among French children, marking his sixth time, though not consecutively. Last year, the list was notably led by swimmer Léon Marchand and judoka Teddy Riner, who had gained significant attention during the Paris Olympic Games. Overall, sports figures demonstrate a strong presence, with twelve athletes featured in the top 50, and six making it into the top 10.
With Soprano at 47, Olivier Giroud at 39, and Victor Wembanyama at just 22, it's highly likely that these prominent figures, particularly the young basketball phenomenon, will continue to appear at the top of such popularity polls for many years to come.
This ranking is based on an OpinionWay survey conducted from January 12 to 19, involving a representative sample of 618 children aged 7 to 14.
Top Personalities Preferred by 7-14 Year Olds:
- Soprano
- Victor Wembanyama
- Olivier Giroud
- Inoxtag
- Ousmane Dembélé and Léon Marchand
- Gims
- Antoine Griezmann
- Zinédine Zidane
- Michou and Jamy Gourmaud
