Besides her emphatic singles triumph at the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul, Steffi Graff won two more medals. She secured a bronze alongside Claudia Kohde-Kilsch in women’s doubles at the same event. Graf also came close to winning her second gold at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics but took silver after losing to Jennifer Capriati of the USA.
In a previous interview with CNN, Graf recalled her victory in Seoul, stating it was bigger than winning a Major for her. The German revealed that she was unprepared for the attention she received in her country after securing an Olympic gold.
“To me this was bigger than a grand slam, it was more special. It’s a different feeling, it’s very unique and definitely more special. I was a bit tired emotionally, probably physically as well. I just remember arriving at the airport and all the attention that I was getting, I just think I wasn’t quite prepared for it at that point,” Graf said
Andre Agassi on the other hand, won his first and only medal, a gold, at the 1996 Atlanta Games. He defeated Spain’s Sergi Bruguera 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 to secure his first Olympic gold medal. Moreover, Graf and Agassi are the only tennis couple to have each won an Olympic gold medal.
