I thought 7's was at least kinda known there prior to the Olympics? Granted you probably know better than I do.Maybe anecdotal but Rugby 7s genuinely seems to have caught a lot of attention in the US where it wouldn't have before. It's early days; these things can't be judged on five years and two attempts.
The sports where the Olympics clearly isn't the pinnacle are soccer, tennis and golf. Can arguably make a case for stuff like baseball and basketball, but then again the pinnacle of those sports are club competitions. Isn't Olympic boxing fully amateur as well? I'd say for T10/20 cricket an Olympic gold would feel better than the World T20 or whatever, though that may change over time.
