Notable minor sport star is Eric Heiden (speed skating). He won and set Olymic records for all of the races in the 1980 Olympics. Not just all of the races he entered, but all of the races. In the sport, which particularly popular in Northern Europe and other places where it's really cold, this is considered a feat that may never be duplicated. This is because races are for both sprinters and long distance racers. After the Olympics Heiden switched to cycling, and was the US National Champion and raced in the Tour de France.
