Paavo Nurmi (FIN, athletics)'s programme was outrageous! He was signed up for the 1,500 and 5,000m, whose finals were scheduled less than an hour apart, as well as for the team 3,000m, and the individual and team crosscountry! And the Finn rose to this incredible challenge, winning five Olympic titles.
