Phelps

Bolt

Libby Tricket

The Kenyan guy who won the marathon

The Aussie medley swimming relay team

Most medals in any single year is a very poor indicator of notability.

Would you say the Dream Team are not notable having won only 1 gold medal when they had to win 8 games to get it?

If it is based on amounts, then there is obvious stand outs - but it is not exactly a fair indicator of notability.

Look at this page: http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/IN... to see mutlipe medal winners:

Stephanie Rice, Chris Hoy, Usain Bolt and Kai Zou all won 3 gold medals.

Natalie Coughlin of the USA won 6 medals - 1 gold, 2 silvers and 3 bronze!

Hope I helped!
