Edwin Moses won something like 108 hurdle races in a row, undefeated in a decade.

Carl Lewis competed in the long jump and numerous sprinting events. He has a pile of gold and world records over a long career.

Al Orter won 4 golds in the discus in the 4 summer Olympics he competed in. No athlete has ever won 4 golds in consecutive events. Also (something I know from experience), the sport is known to rip up a person's body from both form training (weight, speed, and form) and competing.

Weren’t Moses and Lewis caught up in steroids scandals?
