Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympic Games 2016 News

[Maxim Fastovsky 124]

Again, i never argued that USA Basketball are bigger, then Phelps or Bolt. But on par with them

 

So let's open up the question. out of all the athletes in Rio, if you will ask every sports fan in the world, which athletes will be overall most recognizable?

 

I Think it will be USA Basketball, Phelps, Bolt, Dojokovic, Murray. (Maybe Simone Biles as well)

The four you mentioned for sure and probably Neymar too.

 

But I´m sure a majority will recognize your basketball players as well

Football players are bound to be more popular than any basketball especially when there's no James, no Curry. Durant or Anthony might be the most popular but nowhere near the level of a Neymar. Or a Bolt. Or the Tennis Big 4. Or a Serena.

The most recognizable are Bolt, Nadal, Djokovic, Neymar and Phelps. And that's it.

 

Murray is famous, but I don't think he's particularly liked outside of UK.

 

Gymnastics isn't popular at all outside of your country and Russia/East Europe, so I don't think many people would tell Biles apart.

 

EDIT. Serena Williams is very popular too.
