Gymnastics
Scherbo won a total of six gymnastics gold medals (out of a total of an available eight) at the 1992 Olympics, the first gymnast to win as many in one Olympics. In 2009 he was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame, with a note that he was "considered by many as the best male gymnast of all time..... By the time his career ended in 1996, he had won 10 Olympic medals (six gold) and an incredible 23 world championship medals (12 gold). The latter remains a record today."
