The only Olympian ever to medal five consecutive times in the same Olympic event is German Georg Hackl. In 2002, Hackl completed this streak by winning the silver medal in singles luge.
The velocity of the curling rock at top speed is 5 mph.
American speed skater Eric Heiden holds the record for most gold medals in a Winter Olympics with five in 1980. (He and Apolo Anton Ohno both have 5 Winter Olympic medals, the most all-time for an American man. As previously mentioned, Ohno can break that record in Vancouver.)
