List of most Olympic gold medals over career
This is a partial list of multiple Olympic gold medalists, listing people who have won three or more Olympic gold medals. Medals won in the 1906 Intercalated Games are not included. (If they were, Ray Ewry would be second on the list with 10 gold). It includes top-three placings in 1896 and 1900, before medals were awarded for top-three placings. For simplicity, when an athlete has won medals for more than one nation, only the last nation he or she represented is mentioned here. The Olympics listed for each athlete only include games in which they won medals. See the particular article on the athlete for more details on when and for what nation an athlete competed. More medals are available in some events than others, and the number of events in which medals are available overall has changed over time.
Names in Bold denote people that have competed in the most recent Olympics, namely 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.Timeline
