<div id='description'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Speedskater <strong>Eric Heiden</strong> accomplished what no Olympian had ever done up
to 1980 when he won five gold medals in the winter games at Lake
Placid. The Madison native took home more gold medals individually than
12 nations did combined.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A quiet, humble athlete, Heiden combined
with his sister, Beth, to dominate the speedskating world in the late
1970s and early 80s. Heiden won the overall world title in 1977, 78 and
79. That set him up for his Olympic triumph.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
After retiring from speedskating, Heiden completed in cycling and won
the U.S. Professional championship in 1985. He also earned his medical
degree from Stanford and became a doctor. He remained involved in
speedskating as a commentator for TV for a decade.
