Survey: Gymnastics Most Popular Sport
Gymnastics is America's favorite Olympic sport, according to a survey published Monday by USA Today.
In the survey of more than 1,000 people aged 18 and up, 69 percent of respondents chose gymnastics as a favorite Olympic sport. Sixty-two percent chose swimming and diving as a favorite. (Respondents could pick more than one).
The third and fourth most popular are track and field (46 percent) and basketball (35 percent). Baseball was the fifth most popular with 32 percent, though 2008 will be the last time baseball will be in the Olympics. Baseball and softball were eliminated from the 2012 Olympic Games through an IOC vote in 2005.
The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing begin on Aug. 8, 2008.
