Thread Name: BS: Olympics?
Subject: RE: BS: Olympics?
A short trivia quiz for Winter Olympics (all of that is completely irrelevant of course).

(1) (the only easy question) Athlete winning most gold medals at during one Winter Games?
(2) Athlete winning most gold medals altogether at different winter games?
(3) Female athlete with most medals altogether (whatever colour)?
(4) Only athlete so far (until today; he was joined today by another athlete; this is still yesterday's formulation) to win 4 gold medals in the same event at different winter games.
(5) There are a couple of athletes (at least four) winning medals at five different winter games, name one.
(6) (now the really difficult one, because I don't see how you could google that) Which couple, husband and wife, has won four gold medals each in Winter games?
(7) Multitalent: Name the athlete who did win a gold in the ski jump and at the same winter Olympics was also the fastest downhill skier.
(8) The most sucessful Winter Olympics country by far, if you calculate medals per inhabitants.
(9) Longest medal career: Which athlete won medals at two Winter Games separated by twenty years?
