    Ah, you said individual golds.... I have no idea then :confused:
    Don't think it's the Thorpedo as I remember him winning a couple of relay events amongst his golds.

    Light bulb....Kristina Egerzegi of Hungary!!...is that right?

    Yes, Krisztina. Most folks for whatever reason assume it's a male. I never specified the gender. Well done. I followed her through 3 games. Excellent back-stroker!

    She is a legend of swimming. I remember watching her in Atlanta though Barcelona was her finest Olympics. Great athlete.
