Daley Thompson walked around the Olympic village wearing a t-shirt stating "The second best athelete in the Olympics is gay" in reference to Carl Lewis.

He was right, too.

Jesse Owens.

1936.

4 Golds. 100, 200, LJ, 400M relay.
3 WRs one OR I think...

I am with -MZ- and Red tail on this one. He "may" not be the best athlete of all time, but he stared down the German super race (in Germany) and made them blink. Not to mention, as red tail pointed out, that he won an unprecidented amount of medals for his day.
