At the 1956 Winter Games, Yevgeny Grishin earned the gold medal in 500m speed skating by equaling his own world record. Two days later, in the 1500m, he set another world record, tying for first place with teammate Yuri Mikhailov. Four years later, at the Squaw Valley Olympics, Grishin's performance was remarkably similar. Again he won the gold medal at 500m and again matched his own world record. Then, again two days later, he finished in another tie for first place, this time with Roald Aas. Grishin returned to the Olympics in 1964, gaining a silver medal at 500m. He made a final Olympic appearance at the 1968 Games, placing fourth in the 500m and missing a medal by only one tenth of a second.
