Olympics is the most viewed event in the USA

The Olympic Games is always a big draw in the US, this probably has something to do with the amount of medals they always win, and they walked away with a hundred and ten this time, more than anyone else did.

However, surprisingly the Beijing Olympics has been drawing an extra ordinary amount of viewers. This is surprising but considering that, the time zones were compatible with many of the US states this time around.

MOST VIEWED EVENTS IN U.S. TV HISTORY:

1. 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, 211 million (*through 16 days)

2. 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics, 209 million (17 days)
