As with Jakyl's post, I think there's a lot of Olympic sports kind of end up having one or two people that have become the main poster children of their sport due to multiple records and very minimal reminders to the others around them.
Without looking them up I couldn't even name Michael Phelps' own teammates, but of course we also have Ledecky there who's easy to remember. But that also might be because I'm American, how easy are those names around the world still?

Usain Bolt is another name up there that outside of being really in tune with all the contestants of the different track events, how long after the Olympics are you naming people other than him?

I'm sure there's many more, and then there's some sports we may just forget the names of people from because it's less relevant for our country. Like I remember a group of us asking Ermine twice in a voice chat to name famous curlers for us.
