The things you're searching for.	September 20, 2000

This Week's Guest Host: Eileen Wilde Olympic Fever: Top Events Today we bring you a list of the top Olympic events from last week?s query lists. In order to level the playing field, each event query had to contain a derivative of the word Olympic (i.e. Olympic wrestling). Otherwise you get into all sorts of trouble: Is a query for ?football? referring to the NFL, college football, soccer, or Olympic soccer? Here are the 15 early sports search favorites among Web users: 1. Swimming 2. Soccer 3. Basketball 4. Gymnastics 5. Weightlifting 6. Wrestling 7. Equestrian 8. Boxing 9. Diving 10. Baseball 11. Archery 12. Softball 13. Triathlon 14. Tennis 15. Marathon Swimming seems to be the hot sport at this year?s games, with the Aussies and Americans duking it out in the pool. And 3 of the 15 athletes appearing on the search favorites list are swimmers: Ian Thorpe, Jenny Thompson, and Susie O?Neill. Web users must sure love figure skating?if we had included it, the winter games event would have come in at #7. Also interesting to note that nude Olympics?a long-standing Princeton University tradition before it was banned last year?got almost as many queries as weightlifting.
