Since it's an Olympic year, let's get some Oly trivia going. Or, in this case, maybe this is thrown out for discussion. How many people (and obviously who) have won a complete set of medals in a single event over their Olympic career i.e. no adding up their medals for the 110, 200, 4x100, etc? I don't know if I have all of them or not.

Re: Olympic Trivia
This is an odd set. Shura Chudina in 1952:
Silver in JT
Bronze in HJ
Gold as a spiker on the USSR volleyball team

Re: Olympic Trivia
Sorry for a faulty memory. I know though that she was the best player on the volleyball team at that time in addition to being a HJ'er, LJ'er, JT'er, penthathlete. What an athlete! I believe she just died a year or two ago."A beautiful theory killed by an ugly fact."
