Not so in the UK. I would argue that football (soccer), cricket and rugby
have a greater hold on the public than track and field, certainly in terms
of attendances and participation.
Football we all know about but cricket's biggest crowds are in far bigger
than track and field's both for domestic matches and internationals, as are
rugby's.
