The only man EVER to win the Olympic 1000 meters speed skating event twice in a row.

That is only a meaningful accomplishment in the last 25 years or so. Before that, amateur athletes rarely competed in consecutive Olympic games.

Eric Heiden won five gold medals in speed skating in 1980. He won the gold medal in EVERY speed skating event held at the time, and set Olympic records for all of them.

THAT was greatness.
