Is a chance to find who was the tallest and who was the shortest Olympic champion between men and women in all modern-Olympic era history ? Likewise, who was also the heaviest and who was the lightest in both men and women in the history?

 

I can not find the answer anywhere.

I'll take a stab at this.  For men, the shortest gold medalist I'm sure is Joseph DePietro :USA  WL 1948 gold medal in bantamweight.  He was 1.40 metes tall.  The tallest is Arvydas Sabonis :URS  BB 1988 then bronze 1992 for :LTU  listed at 2.21 m.  

For Women, the tallest I'm sure is Uljana Semjonova :URS (  :LAT  nationality) BB 1976 and 1980 listed between 2.10 and 2.16.  The shortest is Mariya Filatova :URS Gymnastics 1976 and 1980, 1.36 meters tall.  Filatova is also likely the lightest listed at 30 kg.  

 

For men, the heaviest gold medalist is probably Leonid Zhabotynsky  :URS 1964 and 1968 WL listed at 163 kg.  The heaviest woman is Zhou Lulu   :CHN 2012 WL at 133 kg.

 

 

Actually, the shortest and lightest men's gold medalist may be the unknow cox of the 1900 pairs event, thought to be around 11 years old.

    • yesterdays' results:  VS  26-31 Very good result for  to qualify to the main round, the team improved (but not to compete with the high level yet).  is a fast and rapid team but lacking the strength and good defense.    VS  29-29, great game from both giants,  finished the first half 16-11 but a great comeback from  in second half with special thanks to Alex Dujshebev who scored in the last 6 seconds and to Dujshebev junior (Daniel) who saved the long shot from the center to secure the draw in a thriller game. De Vargas (  GK) did one great moment in the game when he saved a penalty and the Ref gave the Swedish player Hampus a red card thinking it came straight to De Vargas face but the GK told the ref it came to his hand asking the ref to cancel the red card in a great moment  (at that time the score was 20-14 to Sweden)      VS  28-38, great game from the African side,  is a big question mark, in 1999 Wch they finished 8th and since then the team performance was keep going down (decent number of players switched nationalities),  was leading the game from start till the end and secure a historical qualify to the main round.    VS  18-23, is it a surprise? ..yes and no ..  should be the more favorable side but their performance even in the European qualification was not great..  beat  in European qualification with 1 goal difference in a very tough game.  was performing very well from the beginning finishing the 1st half 14-8,  GK get the credit for such brilliant result.
