Chris Witty

Witty won speed skating silver and bronze in Nagano in 1998, then rode the 500m time trial for the US cycling team at Sydney 2000, and in 2002 returned to the ice to win 1000m gold in Salt Lake City in a world record, despite having been diagnosed with glandular fever weeks earlier. Like Luding and Hashimoto, she used sprint cycling's explosive demands to sharpen her skating.
