Sports presenter Weiss

“Used to a harsh tone – but that makes me sad”

For International Women's Day, the "Krone" is portraying extraordinary women based on current topics. What "Sky" presenter Constanze Weiss thinks about the "male domain" of soccer, sexism and chauvinism in sport and the homophobic chants of abuse by some "supporters" that have become public ... 

"I grew up with sport." Anyone who talks to Constanze Weiss immediately gets the impression that she has found the perfect job for herself. Since 2015, the daughter of ORF commentary legend Erich Weiss (76) has been a presenter on the TV channel Sky - where she has a fixed position in the "male domain" of soccer as a presenter of the Champions League and domestic Bundesliga.

"I originally studied tourism management," says Weiss. During her studies, she got a taste of public relations and ended up in television by chance in 2010.
