4 Billion? So basically almost everyone on this planet was watching that event?? What is the current estimation of planet earth...5-6 Billion. That's pretty good then. The majority of this planet watching the games. I can see all the little African children and there parents watching in there grass hut. I can envision all the Middle East countries take a break from fighting to gather round the ol TV and check out some long jump. I can also envision all those empty seats at Commonwealth stadium, those orange seats sure stand out when not filled...I think things are taken a little out of context. I'm sure the IAAF have the potential to be witnessed by 4 Billion, but not a chance that 4 Billion tuned in. If that's the case then they must be counting viewers who tune in more then once. If I watched all 10 days I would be counted as 10 people. No way in hell 4 Billion different people tuned in.
