 Came out after competing

 Posthumously identified as LGBT

Athlete Country Sport Games Notes
Fritzi Löwy  Austria Swimming 1928 Described as "reportedly bisexual" in her lifetime, Löwy remained single.[1]
Otto Peltzer  Germany Athletics 1928, 1932 Peltzer was openly gay.[2] In the 1930s, he was arrested by the Nazis for his homosexuality. Sentenced to 18 months in prison, he was released early on the condition that he renounce his involvement in sports. He did but, ultimately, was imprisoned in Mauthausen concentration camp until its liberation in 1945.[3][4][5][6]
Babe Didrikson Zaharias  United States Athletics 1932 Won two gold medals and one silver medal in one Olympic Games.[7][8] Though she did not identify her sexuality, Didrikson Zaharias was described as a lesbian. As her marriage deteriorated in the 1950s, she became intimate with Betty Dodd, who moved into Didrikson's home towards the end of her life.[9][10][11][12]
Stanisława Walasiewicz (a.k.a. Stella Walsh) ‡  Poland Athletics 1932, 1936 Won a gold medal in 1932 and a silver medal in 1936. An autopsy discovered that Walsh was intersex; it was determined she likely did not know, and her achievements have not been expunged.[13][14][15][16][17]
Heinrich Ratjen  Germany Athletics 1936 Ratjen's sex characteristics were ambiguous from birth. Though he was raised as female, and for many years competed as "Dora Ratjen" (including at the Olympics), he said he was conscious that he was biologically male from childhood. In 1938, he was arrested and held in Hohenlychen Sanatorium for a year, being examined by SS doctors who found Ratjen to have some intersex characteristics (not just male genitalia). Upon release, he was ordered to stop participating in sport and to assume a male identity. In later life, however, Ratjen (likely erroneously) claimed that the Nazis had ordered him to pose as female in order to bring sporting glory to the nation at their home Olympics.[18][19][20]
Susan McGreivy  United States Swimming 1956 Following her Olympics competition, McGreivy became a lesbian activist. She also helped to defend the Gay Games in front of the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee.[21][22]
Ronald Robertson  United States Figure skating 1956 Robertson was openly gay. He won a silver medal at the Olympics,[23] and semi-retired the following year to open a hotel with his partner, Tab Hunter.[24][25]
Ewa Kłobukowska  Poland Athletics 1964 Kłobukowska won a gold and a bronze medal at the Olympics.[26] She is intersex Barr body-positive, which would not preclude her from competing in women's sports. An inadequate sex verification test following her Olympic success saw her stripped of her titles and banned from competition; though later corrected, none of her achievements have been reinstated.[27][28][29][30][31]
Marion Lay  Canada Swimming 1964, 1968 Lay competed in two Olympic Games, winning a bronze medal in 1968.[32] After competing, Lay came out as a lesbian, and has contributed to supporting LGBT issues in sport, including organizing Pride Houses.[33]
Ondrej Nepela  Czechoslovakia Figure skating 1964, 1972 Nepela competed at two Olympic Games, winning a gold medal in 1972.[34][35] He was gay and, in 1973, had a brief relationship with Canadian figure skater Toller Cranston.[36] In 1989 he died from complications relating to AIDS.[37]
Tom Waddell  United States Athletics 1968 Several years after competing at the Olympic Games, Waddell founded the "Gay Olympics", renamed the Gay Games. He died of AIDS shortly after this.[38]
Mark Chatfield  United States Swimming 1972 Chatfield came out after retiring from sport, saying he remained closeted for fear of being removed from the team, and then unretired to compete in the Gay Games in 1994.[39]
Peter Prijdekker  Netherlands Swimming 1972 As well as the Olympics, Prijdekker competed at the Gay Games, though he was banned from his swim team after his partner died of AIDS.[40][41][42]
