That's the politically correct answer. But can you honestly say Mixed Doubles Gold = Singles Gold?

Re: Murray's Singles Gold and Mixed Silver or Federer's Doubles Gold and Singles Silv
Singles Gold > Doubles Gold
but:
Doubles Gold + Singles Silver > Singles Gold
So in Olympics:
Murray > Federer > Nadal.

Re: Murray's Singles Gold and Mixed Silver or Federer's Doubles Gold and Singles Silv
Murray won them both in the same olympics on the same day, with a partner ranked 90 something.

Re: Murray's Singles Gold and Mixed Silver or Federer's Doubles Gold and Singles Silv
I don't want to pick either option. I consider them as EQUALLY good. Why there's no option for that?
Olympics is different. For the sake of your own glory, of course Murray's medals considered more valuable. But gold medal is gold medal in Olympics. The same player participated in multiple events except Djokovic, for example. It doesn't really work like GS where doubles events are just stepsons and stepdaughters compared to singles events.

Federer's singles silver and doubles gold. Fed had to play best of 5 in both finals, Murray's mixed doubles was best of two sets and a super TB

Re: Murray's Singles Gold and Mixed Silver or Federer's Doubles Gold and Singles Silv
Both are good, but I think singles gold trumps the other achievements as the and puts Murray very slightly ahead, but very slightly. Great by both players.

For normal sports fans: this.
I mean, what is better a medal in long jump or volleyball?
for most tennis fans: singles > doubles
ergo Murrays achievement is slightly better especially considering that he beat the GOAT to win Gold

Re: Murray's Singles Gold and Mixed Silver or Federer's Doubles Gold and Singles Silv
Winning two medals in one day is a remarkable achievement so Murray's gets my vote.
