No athlete won three gold medals at the 1960 Winter Games in Squaw Valley.
This has happened numerous times particularly by large countries or countries who are particularly strong in some sport but one that stands out for me is the sweep by Japan in the 70 meter ski jumping event in 1972. Granted they were in their home country but Japan had never been particularly noted for ski jumping before.
