When 'premier' Olympics events like gymnastics, swimming, diving, etc are shown on TV, it outdraws all US sports except for the NFL Super Bowl.
And just to emphasize how much higher the TV ratings are as compared to the other major US sports - in the 2004 Olympics on the nights in which gymnastics were shown - it drew 32 million viewers - which is :
1) moar than DOUBLE (2x) the TV viewers as the average NBA Final game 2) moar than EIGHT TIMES (8x) the TV viewers as the average Stanley Cup NHL game 3) moar than 50 PERCENT the amount of TV viewers as the average MLB World Series game 4) on par with the NFL AFC/NFC Championship game
