1992年法国阿尔贝维尔冬季奥运会开幕时，因为胰腺发炎，约翰•柯斯在病床上度过了奥运会的开幕式。做完治疗后，柯斯飞到法国阿尔贝维尔参加冬奥会比赛。在他保持世界纪录的5000米速滑中，他只名列第七。尽管身体并没有完全康复，但几天后他就在1500米速滑中，拿到金牌，此时，距他出院才七天，在随后的比赛中，他在10000米速滑中再添一枚银牌。1994年利勒哈默尔奥运会上，摆脱伤病困扰的柯斯统治了速滑全部比赛，他首先打破了5000米速滑的世界纪录，并夺取金牌，随后又成功卫冕1500速滑冠军，并创造新的世界纪录。
最后在10000米速滑比赛中， 他将自己保存的世界纪录提高了12.99秒，以18.70秒的领先优势夺取奥金牌。柯斯的表现不仅获得本国观众的赞扬，也得到了对手的尊重，荷兰队向他颁发一枚通常用于表彰自己国家金牌运动员的金蝴蝶。1999年，柯斯当选为国际奥委会委员，2002年盐湖城冬奥会期间，柯斯宣布辞职。
