The creation of the first winter games allowed for many athletes of the era to compete in both sets of games in the same discipline,[1] and on this page these athletes are listed below the main list.
The Russian athlete Nikolai Panin is unique in having competed in both a summer sport (shooting in 1912) and a winter sport (figure skating in 1908) but only competing at the Summer Olympics.
[3][4] Eddie Eagan and Gillis Grafström were the only two athletes to win gold medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympics.
[3][4] Grafström has the further distinction of being the only person to have won an individual gold medal in both the Summer (1920) and Winter Olympics (1924, 1928), meanwhile Eagan remains the only athlete to have managed the feat in different disciplines.
There are also some contrasts between Olympedia and the Olympics official website regarding the number of appearances.
