His nine gold medals -- including four straight long jump victories, the last coming at the age of 35 -- tie him for the most all-time for any athlete from any country. In 1984, he became the first American track athlete to win four gold medals at one Olympics since 1936, winning the same events Owens did (100 meters, 200 meters, long jump, and 4x100 meter relay).
