American gymnast George Eyser won six medals during the 1924 Summer Olympics, despite having lost his left leg as a young boy after being run over by a train. Wearing a wooden prosthesis, he won gold in the vault, an event which then included a jump over a long horse without aid of a springboard.
This is definitely one case of NOT having a leg up on the competition!
