The Only Athlete to Win Winter and Summer Medals in 1988

In 1988, Christa Luding-Rothenburger won a gold medal in speed skating at the Winter Olympics. She also earned a cycling sprint medal at the Summer Olympics that same year. This makes her the only athlete to achieve this feat.

It is absurd because this combination of achievements is no longer possible.
