What the source says
In 20 EU countries the main reported reason for not attending live sports events was ‘lack of interest’, with the highest values recorded in Belgium (68% of non-participants), Cyprus (60%) and the Netherlands (58%) (see Table 2).
Checked: the figure 58% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
