Besides being the object of Zac Efron’s affection during the Rio Olympics, USA’s Simone Biles brought home four medals to her home country. That’s Google-worthy to be sure.



6. Ryan Lochte

Besides being insanely creepy, Ryan Lochte — US Olympic swimmer — was most Googled this year because he’s a big, fat liar. During the Rio Olympics, Lochte made false claims that he was robbed. He wasn’t, and he ended up looking like a bigger douche than normal, and also, no swimming for Lochte till 2017.



5. Steven Avery
