Little precision: all these individual sports have team competitions. If he had been successful at the olympics in a team event I'd have added the information in my answers

I feel like I just want to play through with the original 20 questions, so would like to hero shot this in 2 and will let someone else take the freebie if we don't get there.

Germans that Fit (I think we have to almost assume that its a German or this is completely gg):

Canoeing

Andreas Stähle
Jochen Lettmann
Thomas Becker

Equestrian

Marco Kutscher

Ok I feel like next two questions =

Andreas Stahle
Marco Kutscher

I think there is about 2% chance of this strategy working.

Will hold off to see if anybody has a better idea

Are there any jockeys who have competed in equestrian events at the olympics?

I know next to nothing about equestrian, but I can't imagine the same people cross over between horse racing and equestrian.

I would suggest asking if it is equestrian next. We could try narrowing down which olympics or country also.

But anyway, I looked up the equestrian events and nobody of note really fits.

So that leaves...canoeing and archery? Weird.

Looking up random canoe people. Not seeing too many people that make sense, but it has to be somebody.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gy%C3%B6rgy_Zala (two bronzes)

Maybe that guy?

Does canoeing include kayaking?

Yeah, I'm sure we have enough info to get this now. Just seems like this guy has to be somebody completely random though.

No idea, but I'd say that for anybody possible.

Maybe Tithayer is related to one of these people.

This guy won a boatload (sorry) of World Championships, but never did better than silver at the Olympics.

He seems much more likely than the other guy. He does have quite a lot of team medals though, if that matters...but none in the Olympics.

I think that's our #1 guess if it's a canoeist.

No one in archery really makes any sense at all. Only Europeans seem to be one-off non-gold medal winners.

Agreed.

Just hero Sliwinski imo. I can't really imagine it not being him.
