Jim Thorpe – 1887
Jim Thorpe has made his name in history as back in 1912 after qualifying for the Olympics team with regular footwear, it was taking from him when he finally appeared at the games. However, he never let it bothered him as one of his teammates willingly lent him one foot of his after Thorpe found one foot in a garbage bin. He won so many events except the javelin that he got a bronze just because it was his first attempt.
