Eddie Eagan is truly a man for all seasons. With his gold in the men's four-man bobsled at the 1932 Lake Placid Games and the gold in the light heavyweight boxing at the 1920 Antwerp Games, the American is the only person to win gold medals at both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

American ski jumper Anders Haugen received his bronze medal from the 1924 Chamonix Winter Olympics ? at the age of 83. Originally thought to have finished fourth, a judging error was discovered 50 years later, and Haugen was invited to Norway to receive his belated medal.

Canada boasted the original Olympic ice hockey powerhouse, winning six gold medals and one silver in the seven Olympic tournaments from 1920 to 1952. They posted a 37-3-1 record and outscored their opponents 403-34 in the 41 games. Canada hasn't won a gold since 1952, managing just three silvers and two bronzes.

John Heaton finished second to his brother Jennison in the inaugural Olympic skeleton competition at the 1928 St. Moritz Games. Twenty years later at the next Olympic skeleton event (again at St. Moritz), the 39-year-old John Heaton repeated as silver medalist.
