Question - 33


They belonged to an exclusive club a while back. Not anymore. Identify them.

Answer: Paavo Nurmi, Larissa Latynina, Carl Lewis and Mark Lewis. These guys led the Olympic gold medals tally at 9 till Phelps broke the record. Imitator, Divya, Raghu, Iam, Ashwin, QoD, Swapnaa, Rajesh, Samrat, Hirak, Arvind and Sumedha got it. Well done.

Paavo Nurmi, Larisa Latynina, Carl Lewis and Mark Spitz.

They were all tied for having won the maximum number of Olympic golds in their careers, until Michael Phelps joined them recently by winning the 200 meter freestyle in Beijing.

They belong to the club that won the most (9) Olympic Gold medals in their careers. Our man (Phelps) joined the club and then created his own with his 10th and 11th golds.
