The sole medallist in this event was Swiss artist Alex Walter Diggelmann. He had won the inaugural edition of this event in 1936. In London, his posters for the World Championships in Cycling and Ice Hockey earned second and third prize, marking the first time an artist won multiple medals in the same event. Diggelmann’s third art medal is still a record at the Olympics, tied only by Danish author Josef Petersen.
