Gillis Grafström of Sweden.
Grafström won 4 Olympic medals (3 gold, 1 silver). He won gold in men's singles at the 1920 Summer Games and 1924 and 1928 Winter Games and won silver in men's singles at the 1932 Winter Games.
Sarah Hughes won the gold medal. She came out 4th place and won the free skate because all the other skaters had mistakes in their programs and she was the only one to skate clean in the free skate, however her short program when Sarah placed 4th was a disaster. So it wasn't a good Olympics for ladies figure skating that year!
