Pair skaters Ludowika Jakobsson and Walter Jakobsson also earned gold during the 1920 Summer Olympics . They later medaled at the 1924 Winter Games . Country Records ( edit ) Winning streak ( edit ) From 1964 to 2006 , Russian figure skaters -- representing the Soviet Union , the Unified Team , or Russia -- won the gold medal in the pairs event , in what is the longest series of victories for one country in one winter event . Events won ( edit ) Russian figure skaters , counting both Russian Federation ( IOC code RUS ) and Russian Empire ( IOC code RU1 ) , hold the unique record for earning gold medals in all six Olympic figure skating events . Since men 's special figures was discontinued , this record can not be matched . Russia ( IOC code RUS ) is the only NOC to have earning gold medals in all five current Olympic figure skating events . Canada has earned gold medals in four of the events ( all except men 's singles ) . Great Britain , Unified Team , and United States have earned gold medals in three of the events . Russia and the Unified Team are the only NOCs to have won three events at the same Olympics , at the 2014 Winter Olympics and the 1992 Winter Olympics respectively . No NOC has won more than three figure skating events at a single Olympics . Podium sweeps ( edit ) There has been two podium sweeps in Olympic figure skating history . This is when athletes from one NOC win all three medals in a single event .

Two years later , Kilius / Bäumler 's results were invalidated because the pair had signed a professional contract before the Olympics . The silver medals went to Wilkes / Revell and the bronze medals to Joseph / Joseph . However , in 1987 , the Germans were re-awarded the silvers after appealing that other pairs had signed similar contracts but were n't exposed and disqualified . After that , the placement of Wilkes / Revell and Joseph / Joseph pairs were unclear for many years .

Question: who has the most olympic medals in figure skating


Sympathy for the Devil - wikipedia Sympathy for the Devil Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the song . For other uses , see Sympathy for the Devil ( disambiguation ) . `` Sympathy for the Devil '' German single picture sleeve ( 1973 ) Song by the Rolling Stones from the album Beggars Banquet Released 6 December 1968 ( 1968 - 12 - 06 ) Recorded 4 -- 5 , 8 -- 10 June 1968 Studio Olympic , London Genre Samba rock Length 6 : 18 Label Decca Songwriter ( s ) Jagger / Richards Producer ( s ) Jimmy Miller Audio sample file help `` Sympathy for the Devil '' is a samba rock song by the Rolling Stones , written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards . Sung by Jagger , the song refers to the Devil , written in the first - person narrative , recounting atrocities committed throughout the history of humanity as if they were somehow `` inspired '' ( or at least witnessed ) by him . Although it has been deemed by some as `` a homage '' , in reality , no admiration ( or even sympathy , for that matter ) is declared for the Devil in the song - other than his `` own '' request . It is performed in a rock arrangement with a samba rhythm , first appearing as the opening track on their 1968 album Beggars Banquet . Rolling Stone magazine placed it at number 32 in its list of the `` 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Inspiration 2 Recording 3 Aftermath 4 Personnel 5 Certifications 6 The 1968 film and others 7 Guns N ' Roses version 7.1 Personnel 7.2 Charts 7.3 Sales and certifications 8 Other recorded versions 9 References 10 External links Inspiration ( edit ) `` Sympathy for the Devil '' is credited to Jagger and Richards , though the song was largely a Jagger composition . The working title of the song was `` The Devil Is My Name '' , having earlier been called `` Fallen Angels '' , and it is sung by Jagger as a first - person narrative from the point of view of the Devil , recounting his control over the events of human existence . In the 2012 documentary Crossfire Hurricane , Jagger stated that his influence for the song came from Baudelaire and from the Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov 's novel The Master and Margarita ( which had just appeared in English translation in 1967 ) . The book was given to him by Marianne Faithfull . In a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone , Jagger said , `` I think that was taken from an old idea of Baudelaire 's , I think , but I could be wrong . Sometimes when I look at my Baudelaire books , I ca n't see it in there . But it was an idea I got from French writing . And I just took a couple of lines and expanded on it . I wrote it as sort of like a Bob Dylan song . '' It was Richards who suggested changing the tempo and using additional percussion , turning the folk song into a samba . Furthermore , Jagger stated in the Rolling Stone interview : `` it 's a very long historical figure -- the figures of evil and figures of good -- so it is a tremendously long trail he 's made as personified in this piece . '' By the time Beggars Banquet was released , the Rolling Stones had already raised some hackles for sexually forward lyrics such as `` Let 's Spend the Night Together '' , or after their reprise of the Willie Dixon 's blues `` I Just Want to Make Love to You '' etc. and for allegedly dabbling in Satanism ( their previous album , while containing no direct Satanic references in its music or lyrics , was titled Their Satanic Majesties Request ) , and `` Sympathy '' brought these concerns to the fore , provoking media rumours and fears among some religious groups that the Stones were devil - worshippers and a corrupting influence on youth . The lyrics focus on atrocities in the history of mankind from Satan 's point of view including the trial and death of Jesus Christ ( `` Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands to seal his fate '' ) , European wars of religion ( `` I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for ten decades for the gods they made '' ) , the violence of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the 1918 shooting of the Romanov family ( `` I stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change / Killed the Tsar and his ministers / Anastasia screamed in vain '' ) , and World War II ( `` I rode a tank , held a general 's rank when the blitzkrieg raged , and the bodies stank '' ) . The song was originally written with the line `` I shouted out ' Who killed Kennedy ? ' '' After Robert F. Kennedy 's death on 6 June 1968 , the line was changed to `` Who killed the Kennedys ? '' . And the answer is `` when after all it was you and me '' , which is a way of saying that `` the devil is not the other one , but eventually each one of us . '' The song may have been spared further controversy when the first single from the album , `` Street Fighting Man '' , became even more controversial in view of the race riots and student protests occurring in many cities in Europe and in the United States . Recording ( edit ) The recording of `` Sympathy for the Devil '' began at London 's Olympic Sound Studios on 4 June 1968 and continued into the next day ; overdubs were done on 8 , 9 and 10 June . Personnel included on the recording include Nicky Hopkins on piano , Rocky Dijon on congas and Bill Wyman on maracas . Marianne Faithfull , Anita Pallenberg , Brian Jones , Charlie Watts , producer Jimmy Miller , Wyman and Richards performed backup vocals , singing the `` woo woos '' . Richards plays bass on the original recording , and also electric guitar . Brian Jones plays a mostly mixed out acoustic guitar , although in isolated tracks of the studio cut , it is audible playing along with the piano . In the 2003 book According to the Rolling Stones , Watts commented : `` Sympathy '' was one of those sort of songs where we tried everything . The first time I ever heard the song was when Mick was playing it at the front door of a house I lived at in Sussex ... He played it entirely on his own ... and it was fantastic . We had a go at loads of different ways of playing it ; in the end I just played a jazz Latin feel in the style of Kenny Clarke would have played on `` A Night in Tunisia '' -- not the actual rhythm he played , but the same styling . On the overall power of the song , Jagger continued in Rolling Stone : It has a very hypnotic groove , a samba , which has a tremendous hypnotic power , rather like good dance music . It does n't speed up or slow down . It keeps this constant groove . Plus , the actual samba rhythm is a great one to sing on , but it is also got some other suggestions in it , an undercurrent of being primitive -- because it is a primitive African , South American , Afro - whatever - you - call - that rhythm ( candomblé ) . So to white people , it has a very sinister thing about it . But forgetting the cultural colors , it is a very good vehicle for producing a powerful piece . It becomes less pretentious because it is a very unpretentious groove . If it had been done as a ballad , it would n't have been as good . Aftermath ( edit ) In an interview with Creem , Jagger said , `` ( When people started taking us as devil worshippers ) , I thought it was a really odd thing , because it was only one song , after all . It was n't like it was a whole album , with lots of occult signs on the back . People seemed to embrace the image so readily , ( and ) it has carried all the way over into heavy metal bands today . Some people have made a living out of doing this ; for example , Jimmy Page . '' Of the change in public perception the band experienced after the song 's release , Richards said in a 1971 interview with Rolling Stone , `` Before , we were just innocent kids out for a good time , they 're saying , ' They 're evil , they 're evil . ' Oh , I 'm evil , really ? So that makes you start thinking about evil ... What is evil ? Half of it , I do n't know how much people think of Mick as the devil or as just a good rock performer or what ? There are black magicians who think we are acting as unknown agents of Lucifer and others who think we are Lucifer . Everybody 's Lucifer . '' Contrary to a widespread misconception , it was `` Under My Thumb '' and not `` Sympathy for the Devil '' that the Rolling Stones were performing when Meredith Hunter was killed at the Altamont Free Concert . Rolling Stone magazine 's early articles on the incident misreported that the killing took place during `` Sympathy for the Devil '' , but the Stones in fact played `` Sympathy for the Devil '' earlier in the concert ; it was interrupted by a fight and restarted , Jagger commenting , `` We 're always having -- something very funny happens when we start that number . '' Several other songs were performed before Hunter was killed .

The film , a depiction of the late 1960s American counterculture , also featured the Rolling Stones in the process of recording the song in the studio . On the filming , Jagger said in Rolling Stone : `` ( it was ) very fortuitous , because Godard wanted to do a film of us in the studio . I mean , it would never happen now , to get someone as interesting as Godard . And stuffy . We just happened to be recording that song . We could have been recording ' My Obsession . ' But it was ' Sympathy for the Devil ' , and it became the track that we used .

This cover is noteworthy for causing an incident involving incoming guitarist , Paul `` Huge '' Tobias , that was partially responsible for guitarist Slash departing from the band in 1996 . Slash has described the Guns N ' Roses version of the song as `` the sound of the band breaking up '' . Rhythm guitarist Gilby Clarke , who does not appear on the recording , noted that the recording foreshadowed his departure from the band : They did that while I was on the road touring for my solo record . ( ... ) I knew that that was the ending because nobody told me about it . Officially I was in the band at that time , and they did that song without me . That was one of the last straws for me , because nobody had said anything to me , and they recorded a song by one of my favorite bands . It was pretty clear I 'm a big Rolling Stones fan , and they recorded the song without me . So I knew that was it . Personnel ( edit ) W.
