I've already gone over this. Most sports in the Olympics aren't the sport of preference for most people, but come the Olympics all the World's attention is on them. Most of us don't care about Swimming or Athletics, but that changes during the Olympics for those 16 days. As someone said earlier in this thread: "We'd watch a bug climbing up a wall, if it meant winning a gold medal" During the Olympics we become "experts" in sports we had no interest in months earlier. That's what the Olympics does to us.
Dufus.
It is all about comparison.
You have a narrow view of world sports because you have not experienced other cultures. You are basing all your knowledge on last years Olympics, which gained great support in Australia.
If you ask a Englishman, French, Brazilian etc they will tell you they take more interest of the World Cup than the Olympics.
