What’s the record for most medals won at a single Olympics?
There have been three instances where an athlete won eight total medals at a single Olympics. The first to do so was Russian gymnast Aleksandr Dityatin, who had a record-setting eight podium finishes at the 1980 Moscow Games. Dityatin, a 10-time Olympic medalist, captured three golds, one silver and four bronze medals in 1980.
Phelps matched Dityatin’s feat at the 2004 Athens Games with six gold and two bronze medals. The most-decorated Olympian of all time then won eight medals again at the following 2008 Olympics, this time taking all golds.
