Irena Szewinska (POL) won 100/200/400/4x100/LJ medals in Olympic
competition.
For the most dissimilar Olympic medal double, the possible winner might be
one of these:
Stan Rowley (AUS) - 1900 GOLD 5000m XC Team Race (not that he earned it!)
plus 1900 BRONZE 60m BRONZE 100m BRONZE 200m
Babe Didriksen 1932 GOLD 80H 1932 GOLD JAV and 1932 SILVER HJ
Micheline Ostermayor (FRA) - 1948 GOLD Shot GOLD Discus BRONZE HJ
Alexandra Chudina (RUS) 1952 BRONZE HJ and 52 SILVER Javelin

Related question, prior to this year has there ever been
an athlete, male or female, who medaled in an Olympics or
World Championships in both the Long Jump and either the
open 400 or 4x400?
That has to be one of the widest 'dissimilarity' of
top-level performance in events ever seen, perhaps
comparable to medaling in both the Pole Vault and High Jump.
