Yes, he can. Unlike a few matchups, this can roughly swing one way or the other depending on the quality of players. Generally you should try to avoid Olaf's axe, his main form of harass. If he attempts to retrieve it, Q and Spin, in fact if he gets NEAR you, Q and spin.. Garen has superior attrition and durability wheris Olaf's raw damage burst is better, Garen can easily come out on top based on how well he can dodge the axe. If he can dodge the axe and thus avoid harassment, Garen can win. However if Olaf keeps striking you with his axe, you are in trouble.
