Ehh, maybe I'm just speaking for myself but I don't think many people care about or remember Olympic athletes after the Olympics other then the US team (specifically medal winners). For example, I have no freaking clue who those people you mentioned are other than Lochte and Douglas. Has Malala been getting a lot of national news here? I've seen some reporting on that story but clearly it wasn't as important as the last twilight movie or who's currently boning Taylor Swift.
