Clas Thunberg Most Successful Olympian Ever? edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A case could be made that in a certain sense Clas Thunberg is the most successful Olympian ever. See List of multiple gold medalists ranked by share of won Olympic events. No other athlete ever won such a high percentage of all Olympic events at a single Games. And he not only holds 1st but also also 3rd place in this ranking!
