#7 Danuta Kozak (Hungary)
Danuta Kozak is a superstar in the sport of Canoeing and she proved every bit as tough as claimed as many as 3 gold medals in Rio 2016 after winning 2 Gold medals in London 4 years back. She is one of the most decorated and celebrated athletes in history and she took the Rio stage by storm.
Kozak, who was in her third Olympics this time completely annihilated her competitions as she eased to victory in the Women’s K1-500m,K2-500m and K4-500m races in the Olympiad.
Besides now having 5 Olympic Gold medals to her names, Kozak has 12 World Championship golds and 6 European Championships gold medals to her credit. But her performance at Rio sealed her legacy as one of the greatest Canoeist in Olympics history.
Medals: 3 Golds (Women’s K1-500m,Women’s K2-500m and Women’s K4-500m Canoe Sprints)
