Best Answer

No, however, javelin thrower Steve Backley of Great Britain won 2 silver medals (1996, 2000) and 1 bronze medal (1992) in Olympic competition. Backley had the 'misfortune' of competing in the Olympics against Jan Železný of Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic, quite possibly the greatest javelin thrower in history, who won the gold medal in 1992, 1996, and 2000.
