It is necessary to mention the 5 gold medals won in 5 consecutive Olympic games by the Cuban wrestler Mijaín López, it is an unprecedented sporting feat.

[xKOSATx]

How could you possibly forget Mijaín López? No other Olympian in history has achieved the accomplishment that he has. 5 gold medals in the same event, 5 Olympics in a row? That's simply legendary

F2P dude (Yusuf Dikec): "Hold my beer".

[johnzengerle]

An Egyptian man won the modern pentathlon becoming the first person from Africa to win the event.

Over a century and the only time they bother to clean the Seine is because of the Olympics, I understand why French people were so mad.

[adamlis]

The Pakistani javelin thrower who won the only medal for his country (a gold!) and is now as much a national hero as our Saint Lucia heroine :)

[jhaarbur]

There are few things I would like to state at least as honorable mentions:
1. In addition to the Refugee Olympic team, the following countries won their first Olympic medal ever: Albania, Cape Verde/Cabo Verde, Dominica, and Saint Lucia.
2. Guatamala won it's first gold medal ever.
3. Algeria won its first gold medal in women's gymanstics ever.

Sifan Hassan, Running the 5km twice, 2 days later the 10km and 2 days after that the marathon. Winning 2x bronze and 1 gold medal.

I was expecting the dude who slammed his balls into the pole vault crossbar to be included. I didn’t think this would be a serious list.

[robinsonleka]

Julian Alfred of St Lucia deserves a spot on this list. Can't believe her achievement was overlooked here. This lady won her country's first gold medal in one of the most prestigious event at the Olympics. Also controversies and viral moments at the Games deserve a list of their own.

[BeeGroove]

i think you forgot some french guy who had an accident with his pole

[jeroenschoondergang]

Sifan Hassan (three medals on the 5, 000, 10, 000 and marathon), Harry's Hattrick

[yannyrocha]

You missed the most beautiful moment of sportsmanship when Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles bowed to Rebeca Andrade!

[Suarez]

What about the US Women's Basketball team's 8TH STRAIGHT Gold Medal?

[Alex_Cool]

A Belgian athlete Nafissatou Thiam also made history by winning three gold medals in 12 years in one sport. (I think it is in the heptathlon) I think she is the first or second woman to win 3 times gold in the same sport.

[bazankhan]

Where is Arshad Nadeem? His story is one of the most inspiring in this whole Olympics. It's disappointing to see such little coverage of athletes from South Asian countries. We need more recognition for their achievements!

[nicolefolkert]

Y'all, the women's 4x400 relay. Amazing.

[rosemaramgio]

Sifan Hassan is unbelievable! To win the marathon after medaling in the 5000 and 10000, who does that? Amazing!😊

[shogunn]

Absolutely nothing to do with athletics but Zhou Yaqin won the Gold Medal for Adorableness.
