A man who has made Olympic history in several ways :
Winning five medals in one event between 1906 and 1924 is not bad.
He is the only person after 1896, who has won medals in two different sports at the same Olympics (Antwerpen).
And he was the architect of the Olympic stadium (and the Ice rink) at that same Olympics !
