Charles Barkley- 2 (basketball)
Kirsty Coventry (Zimbabwe)- 2 (swimming)
Ruthie Bolton- 2 (basketball)
Mark Gangloff- 2 (swimming)
Cesar Cielo (Brazil)- 1 (swimming)
Harvey Glance- 1 (track)

I expect Arkansas, Florida, Aggies, and LSU to all have good showings in this thread.

You cant count the Special Olympics, so really Auburn has none.

In all seriousness thought UGA has 18 Gold medals

Interesting Fact: Herschel Walker competed in the 92 Olympics on the USA bobsled team
