According to Internet search engine Lycos, Kobe Bryant has lost the top spot on the list of most-searched athletes on the Internet. The new No. 1 is U.S. Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard.
Bryant dropped to sixth. Nos. 2-5: Russian gymnast Svetlana Khorkina, U.S. high jumper Amy Acuff, U.S. gymnast Carly Patterson and tennis player Anna Kournikova.
