6. Vitaly Scherbo-1992 Summer Games
The amazing Vitaly Scherbo is the most successful male gymnast in the history of the Olympics. While he officially competed for his homeland of Belarus during the 1992 Summer Olympic Games, Vitaly was actually part of an aligned group at the games. The Commonwealth of Independent States unified with the Soviet Union for a team during the Games. This allowed them to even increase their medal count.
Vitaly’s campaign in 1992 was legendary. He put on some of the greatest performances at the Olympic Games the world had ever seen. He won the gold medal for 6 out of 8 events he participated in. This included the Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, All-Around, and Team events. He was the only male at the time to have achieved the gold medal in all 6 main gymnastic events at one Summer Olympics.
