@ Riot: Which half of Kindred gets Olaf when he dies?
He's running away from his prophesied death by rushing headlong into a different death. Trying to decide whether that means running from or accepting death is a puzzler, lol.

Depends on how he dies. People from the Winter's Claw (esp Iceborn) have very different ideas about how a person should die than we might. For Olaf-- "dying with his eyes open" would be a great honor. --Thus ironically he can only get the lamb's death in battle -- fighting to his last breath.
I think that's almost the point; Olaf can't die because death doesn't even know what to do with him. Lamb can't shoot him because he doesn't want a peaceful end. Wolf chows down on the folks who run from death, but he's not running away, he's running at death.
A true dilemma.
He gets Lamb because when he finally does die, he will accept it.
Olaf will get Lamb, he is more than willing to die. The whole point of a prophacy is you really cant steer from it. Its clear Olaf path, even if it seems to go against his prophecy, is actually all according to how his life is ment to be like. No matter what he will not die until his time when he is old and gray, not from epic beast or such. Lamb and Wolf care not HOW someone dies but in the end when they do if they accept it or not, which he is more than willing.
I've always felt that Olaf (and most Winter's Claw people) would run from death, but not out of fear. More out of fun, and they'd kind of laugh as they do it. Like, they'd only run from death so that they could honor Wolf with a good chase. Kind of a "Come and get me, Death! Ha HA!" situation. I hope this makes sense.
I'll try explaining it in a different way: Olaf's people fight to achieve a good death, but it's dishonorable to NOT fight your ABSOLUTE hardest, which makes it hard to die. You can't purposely die on the battle field, that would be lying. So they are simultaneously accepting death but not allowing themselves to die I guess?

Great question.
Wolf will likely get him.
He is destinied to die a "peaceful" death,so unless Olaf accepts this fate he will likely try to struggle and stay alive,because he doesn't want to die that way.
He's accepting death. He's not running away from death itself, he's just trying to change the circumstances in which he dies. As for the answer: I don't know to which part of kindred that corresponds.
Neither, since Olaf should be able to fairly reliably 1v1 Kindred with enough of his build finished and his ult.
