Certain athletes, like swimmers, gymnasts, or speed skaters, can be entered in many Olympic events and have many chances to win medals. Some athletes, like figure skaters or javelin throwers, will be entered in only one event and have only one chance to win a medal. The most medals won by an athlete at a single Summer Olympics is 8 by swimmer Michael Phelps of the United States in 2004 and 2008 and gymnast Aleksandr Dityatin of the Soviet Union in 1980.
