Eugenio Monti
Eugenio Monti won Olympic gold medals in bobsled at the 1968 Grenoble Games at 40 years old, capping a career that had earlier produced Olympic silver and bronze medals along with multiple World Championship titles across nearly two decades at the top of the sport. Monti became famous for an act of sportsmanship at the 1964 Innsbruck Olympics, when he lent a spare bolt to a British competing team whose sled had broken during the competition, an act that likely cost Monti's own team the gold medal but that he later said he had no regrets about, viewing sportsmanship as more important than the medal itself. That gesture earned Monti the first-ever Pierre de Coubertin Medal for sportsmanship, an award created specifically to recognize exceptional acts of fair play in Olympic competition, and the story remains one of the most frequently cited examples of sportsmanship in Olympic history. His combined Olympic medals across four different Games, spanning nearly two decades of elite competition, along with his celebrated act of sportsmanship, have made Monti one of the most significant and beloved figures in the history of Olympic bobsled.
VS
Kaillie Humphries
Kaillie Humphries won Olympic gold in women's bobsled at both the 2010 Vancouver and 2014 Sochi Olympics competing for Canada, before controversially switching national allegiance to compete for the United States, becoming eligible to represent her new country in time to add an additional Olympic gold at the 2022 Beijing Games. Her nationality switch followed a public dispute with Bobsleigh Canada over allegations of mistreatment, and Humphries's eventual naturalization as a US citizen and her subsequent 2022 Olympic gold for Team USA made her one of the few Olympic athletes to win gold medals for two different countries in the same sport. Humphries's combination of technical driving precision and sustained success across three different Olympics, competing for two separate national teams, reflects a level of adaptability and continued elite performance that few bobsled athletes have matched across a career spanning such significant institutional upheaval. Her combined three Olympic gold medals across three separate Games, achieved while representing two different countries, make Humphries one of the most statistically dominant and genuinely unusual champions in the history of women's bobsled.
