OK this question is tricky for the following reason- Ray Ewry won 10 gold medals, but two of them occurred at the 1906 Intercalated Games which the IOC doesn't recognize.
After that it's a 4 way tie with 9 gold medals.Men Paavo Nurmi, Mark Spitz, Carl Lewis, and the sole women Larissa Latynina.

i believe mark spitz (think that is correct) holds the record for individual golds in one event and in one games(swimming/usa) ... sure it was 7
i think one of the track athletes may have equalled or bettered this at one point.
