1980.  41

correct on George Horine - 1912 bronze medal in the high jump

according to "Stanford Home of Champions" your most recent guess of 41 is going the wrong way

Who is the male Stanford athlete with the most Olympic medals won at summer games?


RE: Sports trivia thread - Mick - 07-12-2021

This Stanford Olympian finished fourth in the long jump in the Olympics.  He did, however, win a gold medal in another Olympic sport.

Who was the Olympian, what was his main (non-Olympic) sport, and in which sport did he win a gold medal?


RE: Sports trivia thread - 82lsju - 07-12-2021

Which Stanford athlete is the youngest athlete to ever win a Summer Olympics gold medal?


RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 07-12-2021

Would that have been Ledecky in London?  She would have been 15 and 4+ months at the time.  Of course, she wasn't a Stanford athlete yet.

BC

no, and the answer to my question was also not yet at Stanford when they won the gold medal

Dink Templeton the great Stanford track coach won Gold in Rugby and was a HJer. So maybe he was 4th in the LJ ?

they are in the HOF but listed under the wrong sport, she's listed in women's swimming not women's diving
