Biography

Four softball players have won four Olympic medals, and four players have won three Olympic gold medals, but Laura Berg is the only softballer to belong to both groups, making her the most decorated softball Olympian. Softball, which was featured only four times on the Olympic Program, has been dominated by the United States’ team, which won three gold medals (1996, 2000 and 2004) and one silver (2008).
