I remain astonished that Eric Heiden, who swept all speed skating events , from short to long, in 1980.
The USE COMPLETELY ignored him, and instead promoted their hockey team, which was not significantly dominant in their sport.
While these medalists managed to win over several Olympics each, Heiden won all his in a short week.
