I was a stateside missionary during the 2002 winter olympic games in SLC. We were told that there was going to be a major upswing of interest in Mormonism after the opening ceremonies and throughout the games.
There wasn't.
I think it was just something Utahns told each other to make themselves feel important. Kind of the same way that they claim the Holy War is one of the top five rivalry games with national interest. Truth is, if you don't live in Utah, you tend to forget that the two teams are even playing each other.
