There has been one athlete to win a gold medal in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. That was Eddie Eagen of the United States who won gold in light heavyweight boxing at the 1920 Summer Games in Antwerp and gold in four man bobsled at the 1932 Winter Games in Lake Placid.

Yes, should there be a tie there can be multiple medals awarded. This happened in the women's 100 meter dash at the 2008 Games in Beijing when Sherone Simpson of Jamaica and Kerron Stewart of Jamaica tied for second place, each running the race in 10.98 seconds. Both ladies were awarded silver medals. In this instance, no bronze medal was awarded since the next position after these two ladies was 4th place.

Should there be a tie for 1st place and two gold medals awarded, no silver medal is awarded but a bronze medal is awarded.
