Both Summer and Winter Olympics on it. Found this one [here](https://wizardpins.com/blogs/education/the-winningest-olympian-at-every-modern-olympics).
Swimming is for babies
This clearly shows that medal allocation is too heavily weighted towards swimming in the modern Summer Olympics.
Eric Heiden, what a Chad. Dominates speed skating, switches to cycling and wins stuff and completes the Tour de France despite lugging 40lbs of muscle more than the other riders over the mountains, then completes med school and becomes a doctor.
4 folks have multiple years. 3 of them combine for 22 in 6 years, then Phelps: 28 in 4 🤯
Imagine they had different forms of running just like they do in swimming. We could have backwards running, sideways running, running on all fours.. ya that’s how ridiculous the different types of swimming are to me
Edit. There’s 4 different variations of the 100m swim in the Olympics, it would be ridiculous if there was 4 different variations of the 100m sprint in running.
First thing i noticed is that Klaebo is listed as a biathlete which is wrong. He is a cross country skiier.
I’m glad this shows what I already knew. We have too many swim events
This shows how pointless it is to compare number of medals across sports. A top tennis player has to play 6 3+ hour matches over like 10 days and gets one gold out of it. Same with basketball, football, hockey, badminton and many more. A top swimmer or gymnast on the other hand can compete in a dozen events in the same time period.
Hmm…looks like if you’re good at swimming then you are good at nearly all the swimming events
Michael Phelps is a monster 👹
Is winningest a real word?
To anyone saying we should eliminate swim events, what is the end goal? What sport should have the most medals because equalizing sports on medal counts is absurd.
Eliminating events would only move top tier athletes away from the Olympics . The more sports that don’t have the top tier athletes participating the worse the event becomes.
Phelps is a phenom….just amazing
It seems very easy to rack up a lot medals in swimming compared to any other sport.
Geeezzzz Michael Phelps is kind of a problem
Ole Einar Bjørndalen is a legend in Biathlon. His first olympic event was in 94, no medals for his first attempt.
He got his first Olympic medals in 98. A silver and a gold medal.
In 2002 a fourth event was added, and he won all four gold medals.
In 2006 his tally was a bronze and two silver medals.
In 2010 he got a silver and a gold model.
Incredibly he got two gold medals in 2014.
In short he is the best drive by shooter ever, and so fast on skis he won events in cross-country skiing as well.
Why are Shcherba and Otto connected in the left column as if they won the same amount of medals in the same year when it were different Olympics?
Goddamn Phelps, save some pussy for the rest of us.
Phelps… what an animal lol
First time in my life seeing the word ‘winningest’ was this morning, and this post is my second time seeing it. I know it’s a word but it totally doesn’t sound or look like it should be.
Michael Phelps is fucking ridiculous.
Interesting that Viktor An played for South Korea then Russia.
Didn’t Phelps lose his medals for dosing?
Whos viktor an and why does he play for both the russia side and the korean side ?
Swimming medals are a crock. How about we hand out medals at every 5k of the marathon to even things up.
S w i m m i n g
You missed one….7 gold medals and 5 silver for a total of 12.
Here are the deets:
The most Olympic equestrian medals won by an individual is 12, achieved by Isabell Werth (Germany) from 1992 to 2021. Werth competed at six Olympic Games, winning seven gold medals and five silvers.
What are the brackets linking several of the years?
Why are a few of the athletes connected by a line? (Eg: Romeo Neri and Helene Madison)
What’s the significance?
Hopefully in the coming years there won’t just be one lone Italian in the mix
Lake Placid producing Winter Gold like crazy
What the fuck is artistic gymnastics
William Lee went on to command US navy forces in WW2 and contributed greatly to the victory at Guadalcanal.
Treated his battleships as long range snipers.

Michael Phelps in 2008 is probably the best Olympic turnout we will ever see. 8 gold metals is insane.
Yeah my homie Clara Hughes from Canada has got six medals. Two in summer Olympics and four in winter. Is she on here?
Damn Phelps. What a legend!
‘Winningest’? WTF
Shout out to Marja-Liiiiiissa Kirvssnnmmmmimijirvmiihbbjimnbfxnj-hämämämämämä…laiiiannnen
2020 is wrong. Emma McKeon from Australia won 7 medals at Tokyo (4 gold, 3 bronze)
Winningest is even a fucking word. Holy shit Americans. 🤣😐
