List of athletes with the most appearances at Olympic Games
Encyclopedia
A small fraction of the world's population ever competes at the Olympic Games; an even smaller fraction ever competes in multiple Games. 488 athletes (119 women, 369 men) have participated in at least five editions of the Olympic Games from Athens 1896
to Vancouver 2010
, but excluding the 1906 Intercalated Games. Just over a hundred of these have gone on to make at least a sixth Olympic appearance.
Several athletes would have made more appearances at the Olympics but for reasons out of their control, such as World Wars (no Olympics were held in 1916, 1940 or 1944), politically motivated boycotts, financial difficulties, or ill-timed injuries.
Two athletes have participated nine times: Austrian sailor Hubert Raudaschl
and Canadian equestrian Ian Millar
. The latter is still active and could yet add to his tally.
Well over half of six-time Olympians belong to the shooting
, equestrian
, sailing
and fencing
disciplines, which are known for allowing athletes more longevity at the elite level. Athletics
and cross-country skiing
also provide a large number of athletes who have competed at five Olympics.

This table shows the number of athletes who have appeared at exactly (or at least) n Olympic Games between 1896 and 2010, as n varies from 5 to 9. For example, 6 men have appeared at exactly seven Olympics while 13 men have appeared at at least seven Olympics. Appearances at the 1906 Intercalated Games are not included. Winter and Summer Olympics are counted as 'different' Olympics even if they occurred in the same year. While these numbers are believed to be correct, it is possible that one or two athletes have been missed, particularly with five-time Olympians.
Approximately a quarter of long-competing athletes are female, the imbalance presumably owing much to physiological and sociocultural reasons. As of 2010, the closest a female athlete has come to competing at eight Olympics is 0.028 seconds, which is the time by which Jamaican-Slovenian sprinter Merlene Ottey
failed to meet the qualification time required for her to make a remarkable eighth appearance at the 2008 Summer Olympics
at age 48.
Four six-time Olympians here have participated in Olympic Games over a period of 40 years: Bahaman sailor Durward Knowles
(8 Olympics), Danish sailor Paul Elvstrøm (8), Danish fencer Ivan Osiier (7), and Norwegian sailor Magnus Konow
(6). Note should also be made of Japanese equestrian Hiroshi Hoketsu
, whose two Olympic appearances in 1964 and 2008 were 44 years apart.
Two five-time Olympians competed under four different flags at the Olympics, one of whom never actually changed nationality. Both shooter Jasna Šekarić
(6 Olympics) and table tennis player Ilija Lupulesku
(5) competed for Yugoslavia
at the 1988 Olympics. In 1992, since Yugoslavia was under UN sanctions, they (and fifty other Serbians, Montenegrins and Macedonians) competed as Independent Olympic Participants
before competing at the next Olympics under the flag of Serbia and Montenegro
. Lupulesku became an American citizen and competed for the USA in 2004, while Šekarić finally competed for Serbia
in 2008.
Twelve five-time Olympians have won at least eight medals: Italian fencer Edoardo Mangiarotti
(13), German kayaker Birgit Fischer
(12), American swimmer Dara Torres
(12), Norwegian biathlete Ole Einar Bjørndalen
(11), Hungarian fencer Aladár Gerevich
(10), Finnish gymnast Heikki Savolainen (9), Jamaican-Slovenian sprinter Merlene Ottey
(9), Romanian rower Elisabeta Oleniuc (8), German equestrian Reiner Klimke
(8), Italian fencer Giovanna Trillini
(8), Dutch equestrian Anky van Grunsven
(8), and Russian diver Dmitri Sautin
(8).
About thirty athletes who have competed in at least five Olympics participated in two sports, with nearly half of them competing at both the Winter and Summer Olympics. The most common cross-over sports are biathlon/cross-country skiing (six athletes competed in both), athletics/bobsleigh (five competitors), and cycling/speed skating (five competitors).
Married couples among five-time Olympians include biathletes Ole Einar Bjørndalen
(Norway) and Nathalie Santer-Bjørndalen
(Italy/Belgium), Lithuanian pairs figure skaters Margarita Drobiazko
and Povilas Vanagas
, Finnish cross-country skiers Harri Kirvesniemi
and Marja-Liisa Kirvesniemi-Hämäläinen
, lugers Susi Erdmann
(Germany) and Gerhard Plankensteiner
(Italy).
Familial relationships among five-time Olympians include Belgian shooters François Lafortune Sr and Jr
(father-son; with their brothers/uncles, they have seventeen Olympic appearances between them), Italian equestrians Piero
and Raimondo d'Inzeo
(brothers), British canoeists Andrew
and Stephen Train
(brothers), Greek shooters Alexandros
and Ioannis Theofilakis
(brothers), Italian cross-country skiers Sabina
and Fulvio Valbusa
(sister-brother), Brazilian equestrians Nelson
and Rodrigo Pessoa
(father-son), Austrian lugers Markus
and Tobias Schiegl
(cousins). A more tenuous relationship is that of Argentine sailors Jorge Salas Chávez
and Roberto Sieburger
; Chávez's cousin Jorge del Río Salas
(4 Olympics) married Sieburger's cousin Marylin Sieburger. (The extended Sieburger-Salas clan includes seven Argentinian sailors with twenty Olympic appearances.)
are not considered 'official' Olympics, but medals were awarded. The following athletes have appeared in at least six Olympics if 1906 is included.
Five athletes made five Olympic appearances if the 1906 Games are included in the count. These are tennis player Ladislav Žemla-Rázný and fencers Willem van Blijenburgh, Edgar Seligman
, Fernand de Montigny
and Jetze Doorman
.
Athletes who have competed in more than one sport are counted once per sport.
The most common combinations of disciplines are biathlon/cross-country skiing (six athletes competed in both), athletics/bobsleigh (five competitors), and cycling/speed skating (five athletes).
