The decline in viewership of the Olympic games is part of a larger trend. This year the average American will watch 172 minutes of broadcast and cable television a day, 100 minutes less than ten years ago

Tokyo was an uneven playing field. Many events took place while Americans and Europeans were asleep. Stars such as Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka left some events early. Covid-19 meant no spectators, and face-masks all round. But the collapse in viewership wasn’t a one-off.
