Oscar Swahn of Sweden was a shooter who competed at three Olympic games, and won several medals. When the 1912 Summer Olympics came to his native country Sweden, he was a member of the single shot running deer team, which won the gold medal. He also won bronze again at the individual double shot running deer event, but he came fifth in the individual single shot event, which was won by his son Alfred Swahn. At 64 years, he became the oldest golden medalist ever, which he still remains up to today.

Official opening of the Games by: HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.\n\nMelbourne won the right to host the 1956 Olympics by one vote over Buenos Aires. Australian quarantine laws were too severe to allow the entry of foreign horses, so the equestrian events were held separately in Stockholm in June. The Melbourne Games were the first to be held in the southern hemisphere. Laszlo Papp of Hungary became the first boxer to win three gold medals. American Pat McCormick won both diving events, just as she had in 1952. Two athletes dominated the gymnastics competition. On the men’s side, Ukrainian Viktor Chukarin earned five medals, including three gold, to bring his career total to eleven medals, seven of them gold. Agnes Keleti of Hungary brought her career total to ten medals by winning four gold medals and two silver. The U.S. basketball team, led by Bill Russell and K.C. Jones, put on the most dominant performance in Olympic history, scoring more than twice as much as their opponents and winning each of their games by at least 30 points. U.S. weightlifter Paul Anderson weighed 137.9kg. In weightlifting, ties are broken by awarding the higher place to the athlete with the lower body weight. Incredibly, this worked to Anderson’s advantage when he tied for first with Humberto Selvetti of Argentina. Selvetti weighed 143.5kg. Prior to 1956, the athletes in the Closing Ceremony marched by nation, as they did in the Opening Ceremony. In Melbourne, following a suggestion by a young Australian named John Ian Wing, the athletes entered the stadium together during the Closing Ceremony, as a symbol of global unity.\n\n72 NOCs (Nations)\n\n3 314 athletes (376 women, 2 938 men)\n\n145 events \n\nOfficial opening of the Games by: HRH the Duke of Edinburgh\n\nLighting the Olympic Flame by: Ron Clarke (athletics)\n\nOlympic Oath by: John Landy (athletics)\n\nOfficial Oath by: The first officials' oath was sworn at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich.

Very difficult to break it down to one single event so, I'll give you my top 10 in order of peference:\n\n10.  Edwin Moses, who won gold medals in the 400-meter hurdles at the 1976 and 1984 Summer Olympics. Between 1977 and 1987, Moses won 107 consecutive finals (122 consecutive races) and set the world record  four times.\n\n9. Javier Sotomayor, who is the only man to exceed 8 foot in the (8'-½ in,2.45 meters ) in the High Jump, when  he set the world record on July 23, 1993 in Salamanca, Spain.\n\n8. Carl Lewis, matching Jesse Owens mark of 4 gold medals in a single Olympiad, the '84 Los Angeles Games.\n\n7. Carl Lewis, matching Al Oerter's feat of winning 4 gold medals for the same event in 4 consecutive Olympiads, when he won the long jump in the '96 Atlanta Games, matching his efforts in '84, '88 and '92.\n\n6. Michael Johnson winning both the 200m and 400m races in a single Olympics, during the 1996 Atlanta Games.  He easily captured the 400m Olympic title with a time of 43.49 beating Roger Black of Great Britain by almost one second. At the 200m final, Johnson achieved a peak speed of over 40 km/h (25 mph), and finished the race in 19.32 shattering the world record by a third of a second.\n\n5.  Al Oerter became the first track and field athlete to win consecutive gold medals for the same event over the period of FOUR Olympiads. Oerter, won the Discus thow at the '56, '60, '64 & '68 Olmpics.\n\n4. Jim Thorpe's perfomance at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Along with the decathlon and pentathlon, Thorpe contested the long jump and high jump as well, but his first event scheduled was the pentathlon. Thorpe was the class of the field, winning four events. He placed only third in the javelin, an event he had never done before 1912. \n\nThe same day he won the pentathlon gold, Thorpe qualified for the high-jump final. In that final, he placed fourth, and took seventh place in the long jump. Thorpe's final event was the decathlon, where tough competition from local favorite Hugo Wieslander was expected. But Wieslander was no match for Thorpe either, finishing some 700 points behind. Thorpe placed in the top four of all ten events.\n\n3. Jessie Owens. But not for winning the 4 Olympic Gold Medals in the 36' Games, but for an extraordinary day that took place a year earlier. In a span of 45 minutes on May 25, 1935 at the Big Ten Championships in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Owns tied the record for the 100 yard dash, set world records in the long jump, 220 yard dash, and 220 yard low hurdles. With the 220 times bettering the records for 200 meter equivalents, Owns set or tied SIX World record in less thane ONE hour.\n\n2. On May 6, 1954 during a meet between British AAA and Oxford University, Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute barrier;  with a time of 3 min 59.4. \n\n1. Bob Beamon's World record jump at the 1968 Mexico City Olymipic Games. Although Beamon was a favorite, his jump was completely unexpected.  From 1935 to 1968, the long jump world record had increased only 8.25" from 26' 8'-1/2 to 27' 4-3/4. With a single jump, Beamon added nearly 22" to the record in a single day.
