Daley Thompson of Great Britain.
Yes ... Daley won the gold medal in decathlon at the 1980 Games in Moscow and 1984 Games in Los Angeles.
Tom Kiely won in 1904, Daley Thompson won in 1980 and again in 1984. So the answer is two, but three times. Thompson is one of two people (American Bob Mathias the other) who have repeated as Olympic Decathlon Champion. Here is another asterisk to add. In 1980 many countries boycotted the Olympics in Moscow, then in the Soviet Union. Great Britain attended but competed under the Olympic flag in support of the political issues for the boycott.
