I think more people in world talked more about Ben Johnson more then Spitz

How many people really care about swimming if not at the olympics? They have world championships every year and it never gets covered. Does anyone watch them? The 100 metres was on every major sports site and newspaper when it is broken. Bolt, Powell,Gay.
