Five athletes in the history of Olympic Games have won medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. Four of those athletes won medals in two different sports.
Gillis Grafström became the first person to win a medal in the same event in Summer and Winter Olympics, winning figure skating golds at the 1920 Olympics and at the first Winter Olympics in 1924. Eddie Eagan became the first person to win a medal in the Winter Olympics and in the Summer Olympics in different events. He is the only Summer and Winter medalist to win Gold medals in different events. Christa Luding-Rothenburger is the only person to win medals at the Winter and Summer Games in the same year. This feat is no longer possible due to the staggering of the Winter and Summer Olympic years. She is the first woman to win a medal in both Winter and Summer. Clara Hughes is the first person to win multiple medals in both Summer and Winter Games. She is also the first person to win multiple individual medals in both Summer and Winter Olympics.
