olympic gold medals

Sports in these countries developed a professional culture from the early years of the modern Olympics. She... Matthew Nicholas Biondi (born October 8, 1965) is an American former competition swimmer,... Halvard Hanevold (born 3 December 1969) is a former Norwegian biathlete. The Asian society also views sport as an exhibition of elegance rather than a contest. 14, but not for a good reason. Athletes from all over the world compete in the XXIII Olympic Games from Feb. 9 to Feb. 25, 2018, in PyeongChang, South Korea. As if that wasn’t enough, he won 121 races in a row during his pomp from 800m upwards. He won 6 Gold in 2004 and 8 medals in 2008. These historic Olympic gold medal winners are listed by popularity, so the most historic Olympians are at the top of the list. The closest Thompson came to individual gold was in Barcelona, where she took home silver in the 100m freestyle. Although the National Olympic Committee (NOC) in each host nation gets to decide the composition of the medals, the International Olympics Committee (IOC) has set minimum standards for the gold medals. In the most recent 2016 Rio Olympics, Phelps won 5 Gold and a Silver medal. It was in the team events where Biondi won his final two gold medals at Barcelona 1992 – in the 4x100m freestyle and medley – ensuring he would go down in the International Swimming Hall of Fame. However, the tradition of giving the medals was not always as we now know it. Starting 1904, the top three in any event are awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in that order of finishing position. In the Olympic Games, highly talented athletes focus on winning multiple medals in different events. For instance, Kenya is famous for winning middle and long distance track races. Phelps won six gold medals in Athens, eight in Beijing and four in London. The famous Olympic competitors on this list may have either competed in the Summer Olympics or Winter Olympics, but what they all have in common is that they each took home a gold medal. and "How many people have won an Olympic gold medal?" A further three golds followed for Latynina at Rome 1960, and she cemented her status as the most successful Olympic gymnast when adding two more golds at Tokyo 1964. We couldn’t make this a top 10 and leave out Bolt, who burst onto the scene in a fashion that will never be repeated. He went on to win 200m gold in world record time, while his 4x100m victory has since been stripped after team-mate Nesta Carter tested positive for a banned substance. A gold medallist first at 18 and then finally at 42, Fischer proved that age was no barrier at both ends of the sporting spectrum. Of his 23 golds, 13 were in individual events, with the other 10 in relays, while the 200m medley stands out as the discipline where he won gold at all four Olympics. The United States of America leads the all-time Summer Olympics medals table with 2,520 medals won.
