Out of curiosity, why do you consider this to be the premier event? I've always considered track & field to be such. It's the core of the Olympics dating back to their beginnings in Greece, and a majority of the iconic Olympians have been track & field athletes. But to each their own.

IMO, it's the high activity level in short bursts that draws attention. I love to watch certain track events but I am pretty certain to not watch a 8000meter distance race... same goes with swimming events, hard for me to control my ADD for a 50 lap event.

I also think it has to do with the apparatuses as well. The things those girls do on the four-inch balance beam is nervewracking and amazing at the same time.
Agree.
Also, anybody who has ever touched a pull up bar couldn't begin to imagine swinging around it while doing tricks in the process. Well, we could probably imagine it but that ish aint ever happening.
