McKane-Godfree won five Olympic medals

Not a widely-known name, Briton Kathleen McKane Godfree participated in two Olympic Games – in 1920 and 1924, winning over that time one gold, two silver and two bronze medals at the Games.

Her biggest success came at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium where she won gold in the women's doubles, silver in the mixed doubles, and bronze in the women’s singles.

She would go on to win silver in the women’s doubles and bronze in the singles at the 1924 Olympics in Paris, giving her a total of five Olympic medals, which no tennis player has been able to equal so far. It is possible, however, given Serena Williams’ success that she could equal this record too.
