Olympians are the best athletes globally, and they are also some of the world’s youngest celebrities. They compete in their country’s colors, and they wear their country’s colors in competition. We usually see these athletes in competition when they are in their prime, usually under 30, and in many cases under 20. It’s no surprise that they grow up quickly because Olympic events only happen every four years. However, we rarely hear from athletes after they retire, and we have no idea what they’re up to! You’re in luck because we’ve tracked down the best so you can see what they’ve been up to lately!
