It's a shocker that neither China or Japan (the 2nd and 3rd largest economies) are in the top 10.

what exactly makes this shocking?

Neither being in the top 10 seems about right when it comes to sport. 

Now that I think of it, there doesn't seem to be any big spectator sport. I'm pretty sure India being in the top 10 is probably almost entirely due to cricket.
