In the same event? If you managed to find five at least one of them is wrong :p

 

Ben Ainslie and Kaori Icho must be among the six ;)

 

Only Oerter, Lewis and Phelps did it in the same event.

 

Elvstrom and Ainslie in two different sailing classes (but still the same sport) and Icho in two different weight classes. That is all.

 

Question is whether a different weight class in a combat sport is a different event? Methinks not.

Methinks yes, and even more for Ainslie, at best you can consider it in the "same" event if an event is replaced by another one, which is not the case here.
