Shen is not that strong against Olaf. Kennen is good against Olaf because he can poke Olaf and just dodge his axes or run back if he tries to true damage and if the Olaf is not good he will die to Garen, too. I'd also say Nidalee might be strong against Olaf because Nidalee can just poke with her spear and at lvl 6 deal serious damage but only if you can play AD Nidalee properly or else don't even bother trying that out. Yorick is also good against Olaf because Yorick can kite any melee champion with his W and outsustain many people he is against with his E. Just don't spam skills early on as Yorick and you won't run out of mana. Hmm Teemo is pretty crazy against Olaf too because dat blind and dat poison and Teemo is pretty fast too. And about Malphite, he isn't exactly a counter to Olaf in laning phase so they're kinda on even ground there. I think I've pretty much torn apart many Malphite players at top with Olaf just because they thought they'd counter me with that champion and were cocky about that. I wouldn't say Malphite is "anti ad" but it is "anti autoattack" and Olaf doesn't really rely on autoattack during laning phase (and Olaf's ultimate does wonders to anything that is trying to hinder him) because he has true damage and his axe. Jax is an example of a champion that relies on autoattack so get your facts straight.

TL;DR: Olaf can be countered with (Garen), Kennen, Nidalee, Yorick and Teemo. So plenty to choose from but there are others, too.
