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.

I was just trying to think of under-18 year olds who got attention during the Olympics because of AGDee's suggestion, and aquatics and gymnastics are sports more likely to have prominent younger athletes. I can't think of any non-Americans under 18 that really made a big impact.
I think Malala did get a lot of attention closer to the incident; I saw her name and related things trending for the US on Twitter, but not as much recently. I don't know how many people would remember the name today
