At the 1952 Olympic Games, Russian gymnast Maria Gorokhovskaya won an overall record seven medals.
» At the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Tom Malchow was the youngest member of the U.S. men’s swim team at age 19. Malchow was humorously nicknamed ”Puppy Chow” by his older teammates. Four years later, at the Olympics in Sydney, he was the 200-meter butterfly gold medallist. Malchow's time of 1:55.35 was the third-fastest performance ever. His nickname changed to “Top Dog” and "Big Dog."
