Seems to me that the soccer games draw the highest attendance, Just saw the womens game Brazil v Nigeria and the stadium was full. Obviously 50,000 plus. I believe soccer is the highest attended sport in the Olympics which is a pity you bypassed in 1996 when both men and womens soccer games sold out which embarrasses other sports as they have empty stadiums.
