the only man to win the 200 and 400 metres
the first man to be ranked number one in the world at both 200m and 400m, michael johnson began dominating both events in 1990. yet it was not until 1996 that he won an individual medal at the olympics. johnson was the overwhelming favourite to win the 200m at the 1992 olympics, but he contracted food poisoning twelve days before the opening ceremony.
he did not recover quickly and was eliminated in the semifinals. he did win a gold medal as a member of the u.s. 4x400m relay team. by the time of the 1996 olympics, johnson had won 54 straight finals at 400m and had not been beaten at that distance in seven years. he had no trouble in the olympic final, winning by ten metres, the largest margin of victory in the event in 100 years.
three nights later, johnson raced in the 200m final. at the u.s. olympic trials, he had run a 19.66 to break the 17-year-old world record. in atlanta, he ran a phenomenal 19.32 to defeat frank fredericks of namibia by four metres. in 1999, johnson broke the 11-year-old 400m world record with a time of 43.18 seconds.
he went to the sydney olympics in 2000 having won the 400m at the last four world championships. he won again in the olympic final to become the first man to win the 400m twice. finally, he anchored the u.s. 4x400m relay team to victory to bring his career gold medal total to five.

越野滑雪运动员西克斯腾-耶恩贝里在1956年意大利科蒂纳丹佩佐开始参加冬季奥运会的比赛，在意大利，他在30公里和15公里越野滑雪中都获得银牌，并在随后进行的50公里滑雪比赛中，以78秒的巨大优势夺冠。两天后，他参加了4x10公里接力比赛，并为瑞典队夺得一枚铜牌。1960年美国斯阔谷冬季奥运会上，耶恩贝里参加的第一个项目是30公里越野滑雪，比赛中，他以13秒的优势夺金，随后又在15公里滑雪中以3.1秒的劣势屈居亚军，接力比赛中名列第四，在50公里越野中名列第五。四年后的奥地利因斯布鲁克冬季奥运会上，耶恩贝里在30公里越野滑雪比赛中，因为起步较慢，一直处于落后位置，最终只名列第五，在15公里滑雪比赛中，他再拿下一枚铜牌。随后的50公里滑雪比赛中，尽管耶恩贝里倒数第二个出发，但他仍然以6.5秒的优势获得金牌。2月8日，在他35岁生日后的第三天，他参加了自己的最后一个奥运项目的争夺：4x10公里接力，他和队友为瑞典再增添一枚银牌。在十二年的奥运参赛经历中，耶恩贝里获得九枚奥运滑雪奖牌，并且在每个比赛项目中，他的成绩都名列前五。
