This week, in lieu of a Week in Numbers, I give you NBC’s 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics by Numbers.
My favorite numbers of the bunch?
- $25,000 – The amount each Olympic athlete is given by the USOC for a gold medal.
- 44 – The number countries with apparel deals with Nike at the Olympics, there are 204 countries participating in total.
- 0 – How much Michael Phelps will pay to eat pizza at Pizza Hut for the next year (all because he broke Spitz’s single-Games gold medal count record, I had no idea he did that)

No idea? Seriously? Dude, its like the only thing that they talked about the entire first week of the Olympics, whether Phelps would finally beat Spitz’s record. I don’t even have TV service (no cable, no broadcast) and yet couldn’t escape that discussion.
