Similar sports such as snowboarding or ski-jumping are also widely popular. However, Austria rarely has international success in this discipline, though the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship is jointly being held with Switzerland. Austrians are also often defined by their national citizenship, which had, in the course of Austrian history, varying relations to the above, for example referring to a native German-speaker of the one-time Habsburg empire, or in a wider sense to any citizen of any of the various lands of that empire that did not form the Hungarian half of Austria-Hungary. Today there are approximately 8.4 million Austrians world wide (roughly 8.2m of which are living in Austria). www.ohb.hu |
