Only 37% of French people are “impatiently” awaiting the Olympics, according to a survey. Conversely, 57% of respondents are waiting with "little" or "no impatience" for the high mass of sport, organized in Paris for the first time in a century.

Less than half of those surveyed (45%) regularly find out about sport and its news. Unsurprisingly, the most followed sport is football, cited by 43% of the 353 respondents following a particular sport almost daily.
