include the US, btw). In parts of Switzerland survival sports are basically the major pastime (places where they still have voice votes in the town square). I'm going to have to call you on that. Baseball is #1 in Japan, South Korea, Cuba, the DR, and Venezuela. Soccer is most popular in almost every other country, aside from random stuff like Canada (Hockey). Some sports may have localized support, but I find it impossible to believe that many nations, if any, have a deep love for pentathlon. +7 Besides Cuba unless you have some source, I'd be surprised if all those other were right. I'd agree that baseball is popular there, as it is here, but I'm kind of doubting it's even more popular in S. Korea than tennis or soccer, for example. And the pentathalon bit was slightly tongue in cheek, not really trying to be precise. If you like wikipedia, baseball is the first sport mentioned on the sports pages for Japan, Cuba, DR, and Venezuela. While wiki isn't really a source, the citations back up the statements, though in the case of Japan, said sourse is entirely in Japanese, so not much help. South Korea is the only page with anything above baseball (mentioned second after soccer). I also could mention Taiwan who also would likely consider baseball to be a national pastime. All in all, that is 5 nations where it is most popular, and two more (SK and US) that it is a close second.
