Summer Olympic Games - Medals by Event
Same Event | Different Events |
This medal tally includes all the men & women who have won at least 3 gold medals IN THE SAME EVENT in the Summer Olympics in any sport or event from Athens 1896 to Tokyo 2020 (both included). This kind of classification is a better reflection of the dominance of an athlete over the years and gives the same opportunities to all the athletes, as only one medal can be achieved every four years. This is more reliable in order to compare a team sport player, who can only achieve a medal per edition, with a swimmer or a gymnast, who can achieve seven or eight medals in only one edition (for ex. Aleksandr Dityatin, Mark Spitz or Michael Phelps). Athletes in bold letters have won a medal in Tokyo 2020, while those with an asterisk next to their name achieved the feat in an individual event.
