Michael Phelps - the most titled Olympic champion
The only Olympic, for his career won more than 10 gold medals of games, became Michael Phelps. This truly titled Olympic champion has on his account 23 high-sample awards, which he began to receive in Athens. There is an athlete in the swimming pool, and he is given almost all the disciplines in this location: swimming with freestyle, butterfly, on his back, Brass, not to mention the relay rates. Presents Phelps US team.
In a big sport, swimmer fell by chance: came to the pool to maintain the general physical form and restoring health, and discovered real talent and excellent data. At the 15th age, Phelps first trusted to represent the country at the Olympic Games, but then he took only fifth place. But after 4 years later, the majority of disciplines posted in his piggy bank 6 gold and 2 bronze medals. In the next games in 2008, Michael became the champion absolutely in all the nominations in which he opposed. This record has not yet managed to beat anyone.
Michael Phelps is the legendary athlete, US pride, 50-fold country champion and 3-fold world champion. He knows everything that at least somehow is interested in modern sports. The swimmer appears on advertising posters, participates in all sorts of promotions and television shows, earning millions of dollars annually on these campaigns.
Until 2012, the Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina was an absolute champion in the number of medals conquered at the Olympics. In her arsenal, 9 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze awards obtained in all existing sports gymnastics disciplines were listed: exercises on bars and a log, support jump, all-around, free exercises. At the Olympic Games in London, this figure was beaten by Michael Phelps, still not completed his career and continuing to replenish the Olympic Piggy Bank.
Championship in the number of awards in athletics belongs to the Finnish marathon of Paavo Nurmi, having 9 gold and 3 silver medals. The athlete's path was not easy: having excellent physical data for running for long distances, Nurmi in a very young age was forced to interrupt workouts and go to work, since his father died, and the family needed money.
Later, he returned to the sport and began persistent training, the result was noticeable at the age of 16, when Finn showed himself on official competitions and ran Cross 3 km in 10 minutes 6 seconds.
After serving in the army, Nurmi began its Olympic career. At first, Antwerp, which brought 3 awards of the highest test, then Paris, the total of which were 5 gold medals, and then Amsterdam, who placed gold and 2 silver in the piggy bank. After the third Olympiad, Poavo realized that age would felt about himself, and wanted to triumphantly complete his career at the 1932 games, but IOC pulled him from participating as he learned that the marathon was participating in non-professional races and receives considerable amounts for it.
Nurmi was awarded a monument established in his homeland, and the right to carry the Olympic torch in 1952 in Helsinki. He became a folk hero, the fame of which was still not scattered.
Another legend of American swimming is Mark Space, who won 9 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze awards of only two Olympiads 1968 and 1972. The first performance at the competitions of such a scale brought a swimmer 2 gold mined as part of the national team. Already after 4 years, in all disciplines where Spacels was declared, he became an indisputable champion, earning 7 gold medals and becoming the most titled American games in Munich.
American Carlo Lewis belongs to the championship in the number of athletics disciplines in which it was declared at the Olympic Games. To the completion of the sports career on his account there were 9 gold and 1 silver rewards. The first Olympiad, in which the athlete took part, became the 1984 Olympics, which took place in Los Angeles. In 1980, Lewis did not get to Moscow, as the United States ignored the competitions in the USSR for well-known political reasons.
The athlete has become a champion in such types, like running 100 meters, jumping in length, relay and others. He was part of the US national team at Games in Seoul, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bAtlanta, where he showed himself as a true wrestler and a true winner. But all the same medal of the highest trial went to Carlo after the announcement of the results: Canadian Ben Jones, finishing the first in the race at 100 meters, was later removed from the competition for the adoption of doping, and his championship went to Lewis.
The end of the sports career of universal athlete was in 1997. By this time, he managed to become a participant in the basketball and football league due to his incredible popularity, although these sports was not professionally engaged in these sports.
One of the most famous athletes of modernity - Usain Bolt, the number of Olympic gold awards of which reaches 9. Starting with the games held in Beijing, the bolt invariably became a champion in three nominations: on 100 meter and 200 meter distances, as well as in the 4 x relay 100 m. Sprinter for Jamaica is performing, which thanks to him shows himself in running sports. However, one of the medals of Usane is question: at the 2008 Olympics, the Carter was brought as part of the Estafete team of Jamaica, who later discovered doping in the blood. If the court is an example decision to deprive this athlete of conquered medals, the bolt will turn into an eight-time champion of the Olympic Games.

Why is he so good?

Starting with the Games in Beijing and ending with the Olympiad in Rio, the bolt certainly won the distances of 100 and 200 meters, as well as in the national team of Jamaica mined gold in the relay 4 x 100 m. Unfortunately, the bolt was deprived of one gold medal. In the doping-sample colleague of the bolt over the national team - Most Carter, who was a participant of the relay in 2008, a prohibited substance was found and the Jamaica national team lost the gold of Beijing, and the bolt became the eight-time Olympic champion. By the number of medals, the bolt does not fall into the top 10.
10-9 places. Jenny Thompson and Saoava Kato
The ninth and tenth places were divided among themselves Jenny Thompson and Japanese Saavo Kato. Athletes won 8 gold medals. But Thompson won them in swimming competitions, and Kato won 8 times at the Olympic competitions in gymnastics. In addition, in the asset of athletes of 3 silver and one bronze.
By right, you can call the "team player." Since almost all of its medals athlete won in the relay swims. The first Olympic triumph for Thompson came to the Olympic Games in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhere the swimmer won 2 gold medals in two plates 4x100 m (free style and combined). Also in Catalonia, American has become the second one at a distance of 100 m free style. In Atlanta, in 1996, Plovcih not only repeated the achievement of four years ago, but also increased him. Jenny Tompsn won 3 gold medals in three relay: 4x100 m and 4x200 m free style combined by 4x100 m. In the Olympic Sydney, the athlete, as if under the photo again wins 3 gold medals in relay.

Also, the gymnast was not equal on the bars. At horse and crossbar, the gymnast was second. The last Olympic Games of the Japanese were the games of 1976 in Montreal. And here the athlete did not spoke. The 30-year-old gymnast won 2 gold: bars and team championship. Silver in absolute championship.
General total: 12 medals. 8 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze.

The seventh and eighth places were divided among themselves representatives of summer and winter sports. Birgit Fisher is the most titled rowing representative on kayaks. And Biorn Dali was not equal in ski racing.
It ranks second among women (after Larisa Latin) by the number of Olympic awards. Also impressive and the period for which an athlete managed to win numerous medals. The first Olympic gold Fisher won back in 1980 in Moscow. The last Olympic triumph occurred with the German after 24 years at the Olympic Games in Athens. Eh, if not for the boycott of 1984, who knows how much medals were on a phenomenal crest. In 1980, German won gold alone at a distance of 500 m. In the 1988 Seoul, the Golden Double and the Quartet, and the Fisher was second. In Barcelona, \u200b\u200bGerman is again the best alone. The second athlete has become in the four.

In fairness, it should be noted that Dali fell in the period when the Winter Olympic Games were held more than once every 4 years, and once every 2 years - in 1992 and 1994, respectively. This is due to the decision of the IOC, in order to summer and winter games were held with a difference in two years. Also on the Norwegian account 4 silver rewards.
