Paulo Radmilovic is arguably Wales' greatest ever sportsman
|
Wales' all-time Olympic medal tally is 20 golds, 11 silver and 18 bronze medals - and our most successful Olympic athlete is the great Paulo Radmilovic. The Cardiff-born swimmer and water polo star won four golds over three Olympics between 1908 and 1920. He was Britain's most successful Olympic athlete until rower Sir Steve Redgrave won his fifth gold medal in successive games in Sydney in 2000. BBC Sport Wales has compiled Wales' Olympic roll of honour. 1908 LONDON OLYMPICS
