This is the complete list of men's Olympic medalists in cycling.
Current program
editThe 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.
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 as winning the maillot jeune of the Tour de France.
