* Eagan won the light heavyweight boxing title at the 1920 Summer Games and the four-man bobsled at the 1932 Winter Games. He is the only athlete to win gold medals in both the Winter and Summer Olympics.

** Irving Jaffee is generally given credit for winning the 10,000-meter speedskating race in 1928, but it was canceled because of thawing ice before it was finished. The IOC considers the race unofficial and did not award medals.
