With five days remaining before the end of the Torino Olympics, NBCOlympics.com, the network’s online home for the games, set a record for page views with 261.1 million, surpassing the 251.4 million for the Athens Olympics.

NBCOlympics.com recorded 145 million page views for the 2002 Salt Lake Games. On Feb. 21, with more than 29 million page views, NBCOlympics.com totaled its second ever most heavily trafficked day to move past the Athens Games. All of the top five page view days in the 10-year history of NBCOlympics.com have occurred during the Torino Games.

The Web site has served over 6.4 million video streams, which equates to more than 72,000 hours of video watched on NBCOlympics.com through Tuesday and doubles the number of streams served over the entire Athens Games.
