Road cycling
With three gold medals on the road, the most successful Olympic road cyclist is Viatcheslav Ekimov of Russia and the Soviet Union (Ekimov had a fourth gold on the track). Only one rider has won gold in both the road race and the road time trial at the same Olympic Games; Remco Evenepoel of Belgium in Paris 2024.
Road race, individual
The Olympic road race, one of the most iconic events at the Games, is also one with the most turnover in medals. No rider has ever won two gold medals, and only one rider has won two medals; Alexander Vinokourov of Kazakhstan, with a gold medal in London 2012, following a silver medal in Sydney 2000. Until 1992 and the Games in Barcelona, all riders were amateurs, with professionals not allowed to ride. Since 1992, the event has been dominated by the same professionals, with a list of famous winners. Unusually, the Games road race continues to be held without rider radios that are used at all times in the professional tours. This creates less predictable racing than the professional circuit.
Time trial, individual
Two riders have won a pair of gold medals in the time trial. Viatcheslav Ekimov, representing Russia and Fabian Cancellara for Switzerland. Tom Dumoulin of the Netherlands, and Chris Froome of Great Britain have also won two medals each, though neither of them gold. Bradley Wiggins in 2012, is the only rider to win time trial gold, or any Olympic road racing gold, in the same year - and in this case the same month - as winning the maillot jeune of the Tour de France.

Pursuit, team
Sprint, individual
Sprint, team
Introduced in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, the team sprint is effectively a 750-metre team time trial, with a rider peeling off at the end of each lap. since its introduction, the event has been dominated by Great Britain, with three wins from the six occasions on which the event was held, and two silver medals. Jason Kenny holds the record of three gold and one silver medal in the event, having been a part of the winning team on three consecutive occasions between 2008 and 2016. France, the first winners of the event in Sydney, were the only nation to have won a medal in every edition, with 1 gold, 2 silvers and 3 bronze medals, but failed to maintain that record, ironically, in their home Games od 2024.
Netherlands hold the Olympic record in the event of 41.469 seconds, set in the delayed Tokyo Olympic Games of 2020. They also hold the distinction of being the only team to win the event twice with the same three riders; Roy van den Berg, Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoogland. Great Britain's three triumphs came with three different teams of which Jason Kenny was the only ever-present.
Mountain bike
Cross-country
Two riders have won two gold medals in the cross-country; Julien Absalon of France (2008 and 2012), and Tom Pidcock of Great Britain (2020 and 2024).
