This surprised me:
"Over a 24-hour period on the busiest Olympic days, Olympic traffic to bbc.co.uk exceeded that for the entire BBC coverage of FIFA World Cup 2010 games," she wrote.

and
"While PC and tablet usage has generally peaked and dipped at different times of the day, mobile consumption has increased steadily from the morning to a plateau in the early afternoon, before dipping away in conjunction with TV viewing in the evening.

"It's obvious: people have their mobiles with them 24/7, and have been using our app and mobile site to keep up to date with the action wherever they are."

on a separate article on that site, they have the official Olympics site as the most popular in the world over the past 2 weeks.

The player they put up was amazing. Any sport ay any time, was like having tickets to everything.

We used TV, pc and phone here at different times during the games and all worked really well.

The BBC did do an amazing job with advertising and just making everything so easy to watch, so the traffic is well deserved

What did surprise me however was the men's 100M final being 9th most requested
