Over 13,000 athletes compete at the Summer and Winter Olympics in 33 different sports and nearly 400 events. The first, second, and third place finishers in each event receive Olympic medals: gold, silver, and bronze, respectively. The Olympic Games over the past 50 years the most costly Games have been London 2012 (USD14.8 billion), Barcelona 1992 (USD11.4 billion), and Montreal 1976 (USD6 billion). Through the first weekend, NBC averaged a 19.2 rating and 35.8 million viewers.

The world’s best soccer leagues are in Europe and once a year the two best European clubs square off in the biggest association football match of the year.
