I am surprised that this seems to be that hard, you open one list with the athletes who won multiple gold medals at the olympics and one with the host cities of the olympics. I would like to do it myself, but currently i don't have much free time, but that will change from thursday onwards, so if noone has the answer by then, i will do it. If there would be a list with athletes who defended their olympic gold, this would become considerably easier.

OlympicsFan 783 Posted February 20, 2018 #744 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Kakhi Kakhiasvili seems to be one, although he won 3 olympic golds in a row, but the first one was for the Unified Team in 1992 and not for Greece. Pyrros Dimas won gold in 1992, 1996 and 2000, but in 2004 he won only bronze at home. Don't know if this counts, because in 1996 he won gold in the -83 kg category, but in 2000 he won gold in the -85 kg category and in 2004 he won bronze there. Jackie Joyner-Kersee won gold in 1988 and 1992 but not 1996 in the heptathlon. I think the same happened to Janet Evans in women's 800 m free at 1996 olympics. Nikolay Andrianov won gold at the floor in 1972 and 1976 but not in 1980 (he won gold in other events, so don't know if it counts). There are probably some more, but no i am tired.

carivan 73 Posted February 20, 2018 #746 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Do teams count? Because Brasil's women's Volleyball won gold in Beijing and London but lost in the QFs at home. Also, Viktor Saneyev won golds in Mexico, Munich and Montreal but silver in Moscow (triple jump) Edited February 20, 2018 by carivan dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very sure at least Sheilla Castro and Thaisa Menezes were part of all of them. Adding one more: Kieren Perkins of Australia won swimming 1500m Freestyle in 92 and 96 but then silver in 2000. carivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nations like Argentina, Chile and Venezuela could also be regulars in this sport. Argentina and Chile should focus in competitive ski (all the variants) because at least they have all the structure and natural conditions for that already in place. Now it would only take for the NOCs to actually start caring one bit about winter sports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, if I was religious I'd thank the lord for not letting inline be Olympic, it's sort of the way to save speed skating. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
