The Most Successful Tennis Players at the Summer Olympics

Winning an Olympic medal is a monumental achievement for any athlete. Various factors can increase the difficulty of winning a medal in certain sports. For instance, the average professional tennis player has a career of between nine and 10 years, meaning they have about two opportunities to compete for Olympic medals. The tennis program is small, with singles, doubles, and mixed competitions. Despite these challenges, several tennis players have won multiple Olympic and gold medals.

Tennis made its Olympic debut at the first Olympics in 1896 and was a recurring event through 1924. It returned to the Summer Olympics as a demonstration sport in 1968 and 1984 before the International Olympic Committee recognized tennis as a medal sport once again in 1988.

Venus and Serena Williams are the most decorated Olympic tennis players of all time. They have each earned medals in singles and have enjoyed considerable success as a doubles team representing the United States. Venus Williams won the gold medal in the women’s singles event at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. It marked the third consecutive gold for the US in the event. Williams earned the gold over Russian’s Elena Dementieva, who would win the event eight years later. American Monica Seles rounded out the podium.

American women did not medal in singles competitions at the 2004 Athens or 2008 Beijing events, but Serena Williams returned the gold to the US at the 2012 London Olympics. She defeated long-time rival Maria Sharapova in the gold medal match, which was held on Wimbledon’s Centre Court. It was a dream event for Williams, who teamed with her sister Venus to win the gold medal in doubles. In the final, they defeated Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka of the Czech Republic.

The London victory was the third gold medal for the Williams sisters. They also earned gold at the Sydney Games, giving Venus two golds at the event and in Beijing. Venus earned an additional silver medal in the 2016 mixed doubles event in Rio de Janeiro, partnering with Rajeev Ram. They lost the gold medal match to the American team of Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jack Sock.

Kathleen McMake Godfree of Great Britain also holds five Olympic medals, including a gold medal in doubles at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics. She also has two bronze and two silver medals.

Great Britain’s Reginald Doherty won four Olympic medals between 1900 and 1908, more than any other man. However, Andy Murray, also representing Great Britain, has won three medals and holds the unique distinction of being the only singles player to win multiple gold medals.

Murray’s first gold medal came dramatically. Carrying the burden of England’s long drought at Wimbledon, Murray reached the 2012 Wimbledon final and faced Roger Federer, who won the match over four tough sets. Less than two months later, Murray would find himself standing on the same court, again staring across the net at Federer, who was often regarded as the greatest Wimbledon player of all time. Murray had more than recovered from the Wimbledon defeat, routing the grass court legend 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 to win the gold.

Murray partnered with Laura Robson during the London Olympics and won a silver medal in mixed doubles. He returned to Wimbledon in 2013, winning the title, and later defended his gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

I don’t remember if something like this has been asked but would the ROs choose to save the MC over a bunch of people or would they choose to save the big group of people over the MC (aka would they save their lover and condemn the many or would they save the many and condemn their lover)? Would any of them not be able to make a desicion? How would their desicion effect them?

Have some angst anon. Everyone needs it.

Ardwen: He’dchoose MC. He has no obligation to this group of people, and he’s never claimedto be altruistic so why would he even hesitate with his choice?

Arke: He wouldchoose MC. Always MC. Nothing in his makeup would allow him any other option.He would struggle against, by the Gods he would, but with everything they’vebeen through taken into account… there is simply no other path. His future,past, and present, have always contained MC, and to live a life without them?He’d have regrets and guilt for the rest of his life, but none of it wouldcompare to what he’d feel were he to choose to save the group.

Bex: Though he would have a difficult time choosing, ultimately,he would save MC. He’s never really had many healthy relationships in his life,never been able to feel like he has a family or is loved and desired the way MCmakes him feel. He doesn’t want to risk feeling alone again, risk going backinto that hole that he found himself in when he was in his twenties.

Calyssa: She’dchoose the group over MC. To choose anything else would be to betray all hermorals and values and that isn’t something she can do. She’d feel guilty forit, but were she even to be given another chance, she would not choose anyother option but to save the group.

Druvel: He’sselfish so naturally he’d choose MC. He’s never really felt the way he has forMC and you can sure as hell bet he isn’t throwing that away for a bunch of strangers.Even if it’s the whole world, so long as MC survives with him, that’s all heneeds.

Emil: MC would behis only choice, mainly because he can’t have another person close to him die again.Not someone he loves, not someone he intends to spend the rest of his life with,however short or long that may be.

Ettia: She wouldchoose the group. She doesn’t want MC to die, of course she doesn’t, but the purebody count is more than she could handle. She couldn’t do it for one person.

Gwyn: Unlike hissister, would choose MC. Though he should remain neutral like he has been taughtfor millennia, it is near impossible for him. In a way, that’s very similar tohis sister, except he is selfish whereas she is a bleeding heart.

Herron: As much ashe’d like to think he’d be able to choose the group, in the moment, with allthe pressure mounting, his heart would say otherwise. He would only be able tochoose MC because nothing else would allow him to choose the other option.

Keller: Though she’dprefer not to see any death at all, she’d choose the group over the MC purelybecause that’s the path with the lowest body count. MC isn’t an innocent; thegroup might be full of them. It’s a simply decision, though not necessarily aneasy one.

Korrin: They wouldchoose the many, for ultimately MC has done much evil in their lifetime. Thoughthey love MC, and have done bad themselves, there is so much life in such agroup and they know better than to let their heart rule them. They’ve done itbefore and it’s rarely worked out to their advantage. They’d hold the regret ofit, however, with them until death.

Lokeira: Lokeira usunder no illusions that he’s anything other than a selfish man, but he wouldhave trouble choosing at first. He’d quickly come to the conclusion, however,that he can’t live without MC and would immediately choose them over a group ofpeople. That isn’t to say he won’t feel tremendous amounts of guilt over it, however.

Necrolym: He won’tbe able to choose. He’s always prided himself on being neutral, on staying apathetic,but he loves MC, and can’t exactly stay neutral when love is involved. Ultimately,he wouldn’t be able to make a decision, for he would be too conflicted and toofrozen in fear.

Nox: She’d alwayschoose MC. She cares little for most people but herself and most definitely wouldn’tcare if there were consequences to her choosing something that is mostdefinitely hers over anything else. She probably wouldn’t feel any regret overthis. Probably.

Qora: As much asshe likes to think she’s a selfish prat, Qora would save the group of people.In her eyes it’s the only right option because, really, MC has done a lot ofbad anyway. Whether or not she likes it she can’t deny objective fact. Shewould be hung up about it, however.

Severa: She’s asoldier by nature, and though she is selfish and quite lapsed in her judgement,she is under no pretences that the one she loves is worth more than a largegroup of people. Because she wouldn’t allow herself not to make a decision, shewould almost immediately choose the many.

Spotter: Theywould save MC. They are almost obsessively in love with MC and would do almosteverything for. While they want to be able to do what’s right, the truth of thematter is that they are willing to go to make many leaps and bounds just toimpress MC. It’s not healthy or good for them in any way but that’s therationale behind the decisions they make. Sure, they’d feel bad for condemninga whole bunch of people but they are almost completely blinded by theirinfatuation.

McMalfoy’s (Part 1)

So awhile back things were really slow at work so I may or may not have written a fic (on receipt paper of all things) to vent about work. Now I may not work in food, but this made me feel better about my job.

So I present to you all, a fanfic about Harry (and his co-worker, Draco) doubling as an employee for both McMalfoy’s & MalfoyMart. A good number of these chapters will be based on things I’ve had to deal with at work.

Once upon a time there was a kid named Harry Potter. He worked at McMalfoy’s part time. He promised himself that it was only temporary, he would keep the job until he had just enough to go to Merlin’s Music Magic festival that summer with Ron and Hermione. It was pricey, but all of the sickest wizard rock artists were going to be there. So McMalfoy’s would do. It was okay mostly, but his coworker Draco was kind of a jackass. Of course Draco was the boss’ son so he never got in trouble for licking the French fries of muggle born customers. Or for hitting on hot babes when he was supposed to be flipping burgers.

“Babes before burgers, Potter.” He’d say assholishly. And since he was the boss’ son Harry would take the fall for the low productivity and the growing stream of customers.

What made it worse was that McMalfoy’s was ran out of the Malfoy Manor so sometimes he’d get lost on the way to the kitchen and find some muggle corpses or run into Voldemort combing his lack of hair after getting out of the shower on a fine Saturday afternoon. But worst of all were the rude customers.

Bellatrix was a regular, and she always had something to bitch about. One time she tried to use a Hagrid’s Hamburger Hut coupon at McMalfoy’s. He remembered the day quiet vividly, being as it was the first experience he had ever had with a customer like her.

His Wednesday started out decently normal, with Draco adjusting his uniform hat, pretending that he could make it work. Literally no one could ever pull off a McMalfoy’s bucket had not even Cho Chang. Not even Flure Delacour. But hey, Harry had to give him props for effort. Of course, it was Draco’s turn to wipe down tables, but Crabbe and Goyle decided to drop in at that time. Harry found it funny how the pair always showed up when Draco was supposed to be wiping tables. Grumbling to himself, Harry picked up a handful of paper towels and a spray bottle. He wouldn’t get reprimanded for Draco’s laziness this time! He was running on auto-pilot scrubbing robotically as he waited for the lunch rush. He came to the table in the back corner, his ‘favorite’ to clean. He began referring to that spot as the artists’ corner. That day’s mural was a classic. A nice big ol’ depiction of someone’s junk, captioned ‘Big D’. Harry would know it anywhere, he’d caught Dudley drawing it on menus at various high-end restaurants, and even once at a playground. Harry assumed he’d be free of it at McMalfoy’s but apparently the Malfoy’s were willing to serve anyone who had bucks to throw at them. So Harry found himself scrubbing at Big D, resenting Dudley for using a glittery gold sharpie this time. Within five minutes, Big D was very nearly gone.

It was at about that time when Lestrange kicked in the door—literally lifted her leg and slammed it against the door despite having two perfectly functioning arms. Her hair was disheveled with her comb still stuck in it. He sometimes liked to replay that moment in slow motion with a freeze frame on the part where she practically toppled to the floor. Upon successfully entering the establishment, Bellatrix balled her fists and scanned the place as if scoping out an employee to fight. Rodolphus sulked behind, silently begging her to, maybe, not do that.

As was the script Harry gulped and greeted, “welcome to McMalfoy’s how can we McMake your meal?”

“Two apple pies and McMalfoy’s flurry. Rod wants a burger.” Bellatrix replied, leaving Harry to mutter, “thanks for asking Bella, I’m doing great.”

Instead he spoke, “Please let me get to the register so I can...”

Bellatrix gave a dramatic huff. “Do you need to? Can’t you just take my order?”

“Well I have to be able to enter your order into the register so…”

“Just hurry up, I have places to be.” Bellatrix scoffed.

Harry made his way behind the counter, to his luck Draco took this as his cue to follow and ready the stoves. “Okay, what can I McMake you?

“I already told you. I want two apple pies and a McMalfoy’s flurry. With extra chocolate chips. And Rod wants a burger.”

“Actually I wanted a chicken sandwich.” He squeaked.

“He will have the burger.” Bella stated firmly. “Also get me a chocolate frog to go with that.”

The feeling of dread that crept into his soul was overpowering as he carefully replied, “we don’t sell those here.”

“Don’t. Sell. Those??? Here???” She shrieked. “What do you mean you don’t sell those here!?”

“We only see those on Mondays when we are MalfoyMart. We’re McMalfoy’s at the moment, mam.” Harry explained. Frankly he thought it was very ridiculous for the Malfoy’s to double as a restaurant on some days and then become a popular grocery store on other days. But hey, if magic can do it then it would be done. Such was the way of the Malfoy.

Bellatrix squinted menacingly at him. “Draco’s father will hear about this.”

Harry stole a glance back to see the boy mentioned, blushing at how he had just been mocked. If Bellatrix hadn’t continued to be a complete and insufferable pain in the rear, that might have made up for her prior remarks. But no, reformed (and he used that word oh so loosely) or not, Bella was still Bella. If she couldn’t cause people physical agony she would settle for mental torment and the opportunity to be annoying enough to give someone a brain aneurysm.

Harry held his smile. “I’m sorry about that. Would you still like the rest of your order?”

“Sweet Lord Voldemort below! You have the brains of a house elf, of course I want the rest of it!” Bellatrix chided as Rodophus pretended to be very interested in the cheap toys that came with the kid’s meals.

“Hey Bella look at that one.” He pointed at a plastic wand that looked like Lucius’ cane.

Bella ignored him. “Also here, it says I get five knuts off.”

“Bellatrix, you must have grabbed the wrong one, this is for Hagrid’s Hamburger Hut.” Harry fought to keep his smile good and wide.

“Not it isn’t” She insisted.

Harry couldn’t stop his eye from twitching. “Would you like to take a look, Madame Lestrange?” He hoped against all hope, that the use of the formal title would stroke her ego just enough to get her to calm down at least a little.

She turned the coupon over in her hand, inspecting it way too closely. Once, then twice, and then a third time as if doing so would change what it read. “Hmmm.” She hummed before turning it a fourth time. Harry wanted to bang his head against the counter. And in that demented sing songy voice he had become accustomed to she asked, “Well can you use it anyways?”

Harry blinked twice. “It’s for Hagrid’s Hamburger Hut.”

“But if you use it, it can be for McMalfoys?” She seemed genuinely confused.

“I’m sorry, Madame Lestrange, our registers can’t take coupons that aren’t ours.”

He expected another one of her frenzied explosions. The ones that typically led to the police being called. She surprised him though, in calmly taking the coupon back with an, “oh, okay, just let me see it.” She turned her back on him, there was a flash of purple light. “Here you go, that’ll be five knuts off of my meal.”

In her palm lie a clearly counterfeit McMalfoy’s coupon. “Bella, I just saw you use magic.”

“Wh-what, me? Use magic?? To get my way??? I would never.” She sputtered with false shock.

“Hey dear?” Rodolpus tried. “I’m very hungry, it’s only five knuts and we’re one of the richest wizarding families, can we please just order our meal?”

“Can we just…pfft…order our meal.” Bellatrix snorted. “No, we can’t just ‘order our meal.’ We’re getting five knuts off, I have a coupon.”

“Yes, you have a coupon, it’s the wrong coupon.” Draco grumbled to his aunt. And to Harry he muttered, “this changes nothing, Potter, we simply have a common enemy right now.”

“Alright fine, how’s this?” Bella bargained. “No coupon but I get a toy.”

“From the kiddie meal?” Harry asked.

Bellatrix’s eyes narrowed, clearly she was getting serious. “From the kiddie meal.” She confirmed.

Harry sighed, he didn’t want to do this. “Just a moment, let me ask my manager.”

Bellatrix clicked her tongue and drummed her fingers impatiently on the counter until Malfoy’s majestic mane could be seen swooshing around the corner. With all of the regality a pureblood ought to have, Lucius came to stand behind the counter. “Yes, Potter?”

Before Harry could open his mouth to explain the situation Bellatrix spoke up. “You’re employee is not being cooperative.”

Harry’s jaw dropped at the sheer audacity of the woman.

“He won’t take my coupon that I saved specifically for this moment.”

“It’s for Hagrid’s Hamburger Hut.” Harry put in quickly. “So I offered…well she offered to take a kid’s meal toy instead.”

“Just let her use the coupon.”

“Wha-what?” Harry sputtered.

Lucius took the coupon from Bella and finished processing your order. “That will be seven knuts and with the coupon…two knuts.”

Harry knew at that moment he was in for a long few months. It was about four days now, since the incident, but he was still shaken. It haunted him on his lunch breaks, as he pondered whether or not she used a McMalfoy’s coupon at Hagrid’s Hamburger Hut. He took a bite of his PB&J sandwich and gazed at the restaurant mansion. Bellatrix was skipping up the walkway and he only had five minutes left of his break.

When I lived in New York City I had something of a breakfast sandwich problem—it was just too easy to walk to the corner deli and ask for a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll. I’ll always love that bodega classic, but eventually I realized that breakfast sandwiches are a great way to express my own culinary creativity. There’s no shortage of ways to combine bread, meat, cheese, and eggs. I’m sure you could come up with lots of great versions on your own, but if you need a little help getting started we’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite breakfast sandwich recipes—simple ones with Spam and egg or tomato and bacon, indulgent croques monsieurs and madames, a gut-busting brunch burger, and more.

Classic Breakfast Sandwich

[Photograph: María del Mar Cuadra]

Walk into any NYC deli and ask for a breakfast sandwich and you’ll get something like this: eggs, meat, and American cheese on a roll. Our version uses both ham and bacon for extra heft, but the real upgrade is griddling the rolls in butter for crunch and flavor.

Spam and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches

[Photograph: Marvin Gapultos]

This Hawaiian-style breakfast sandwich features Spam and fried eggs on toasted Hawaiian sweet rolls. The secret ingredient is pineapple, mango, or strawberry jelly, which we spread on the rolls to provide a sweet contrast to the salty Spam. If you want to add a squirt of Sriracha, too, I certainly won’t stop you.

Tomato and Bacon Breakfast Sandwiches

We’re getting close to peak tomato season, and to get ready you should arm yourself with the recipe for the ultimate summer breakfast sandwich. Perfectly ripe tomatoes are the stars here, supported by crispy bacon, creamy mayonnaise, and a craggy English muffin. Pro-tip: Set the tomato on the English muffin and salt it before frying the bacon so that tomato juice soaks into the bottom half. Another pro-tip: Make the English muffin yourself!

Ultra-Smashed Brunch Burgers With Quick Jalapeño Hollandaise

If our tomato and bacon breakfast sandwich is a study in minimalism, this epic brunch burger is the opposite—smashed patty, fried egg, melted cheese, avocado, bacon, and a jalapeño-and-lime-infused Hollandaise come together to form a serious hangover killer.

Cheesy, Gooey Croques Monsieurs

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

Staying on the decadent side of breakfast, let’s move to the croque monsieur—a toasted ham and cheese sandwich with a little Dijon mustard and plenty of gooey mornay sauce both spread inside and spooned on top. You want to look for a good alpine cheese here such as Swiss, Gruyère, or Comté.

Rich and Creamy Croques Madames

[Photograph: Vicky Wasik]

If a croque monsieur isn’t enough for you, make it into a croque madame by topping it with a runny sunny-side up egg. A critical, but often overlooked, part of a great croque is the bread—you want to use relatively thin slices so that it doesn’t overwhelm the filling and toast it on both sides to make it crunchy enough to stand up to the cheese. We like to use brioche, but your favorite high-quality white sandwich bread will work.

Homemade Egg McMuffin

Our version of this McDonald’s classic stays true to—but improves on—the original. The first step is to upgrade the ingredients, the second is to toast the English muffin, and the third is to brown the Canadian bacon. To cook the egg evenly while maintaining the classic McMuffin shape we cook it on the lid of a Mason jar, which keeps it perfectly tender. Our last trick is to wrap the sandwich in foil and let it steam for a few minutes before eating so that the cheese melts and the flavors meld. (Again, if you want to go the extra mile for extra flavor and extra breakfast sandwich points, make the English muffin yourself!)

Scrambled Egg and Cheese Drop-Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches

[Photograph: Daniel Gritzer]

This knife-and-fork breakfast sandwich starts with homemade drop biscuits, which we smother in scrambled eggs so packed with mozzarella that they start to look like queso fundido. To give the eggs extra flavor we cook them with sautéed onions, briny feta, and fresh dill. Make sure to taste the eggs before seasoning, because the feta may add all the salt you need.

Grilled Cheese Eggsplosion

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

Grilled cheese might not sound like something to eat in the morning, but anything can be breakfast with a fried egg added. This messy sandwich takes the egg-in-a-hole and sandwiches it around melty American cheese. Be sure to have plenty of napkins on hand for this one.

Nested Egg-in-a-Hole for 1 1/2 Eaters

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

When you make an egg-in-a-hole you end up with an extra piece of bread that you cut out from the center. You could just toast this up and eat in on the side, but if you have a smaller mouth to feed you can use a quail egg to turn it into its own baby-sized breakfast.
