Good question, which I fear I can't answer. The Olympic Games are related to the town of Olympia and several mountains called Olympus or Olympos, which are all very prominent in their region. It is tempting to say the name must mean "Home of the Gods" or something similar (and that may well be true), but there is no modern Greek, English or other word like Olym or Pus which means Home or Gods. The Pous/Pus/Pos bit resembles words involving feet, or base, such as tripod or platypus, and the nearest Oli/Oly equivalent would seems to be the Olive tree. A wild speculation might be that the first Mount Olympus, wherever it was, arose from an area particularly rich in olives, and its name was not directly connected to its height or majesty. The connection between the name Olympus and the function Home of the Gods would be a coincidental association, but which later became the normal term for the abode of deities.
Who won a congressional medal of honor and an Olympic medal?
The proper answer would be ... no one. The fact is there is no award called the Congressional Medal of Honor. The proper name of the award is the Medal Of Honor.
The final reason why no one would have ever won both is because one does not 'win' a Medal of Honor. It is awarded, usually posthumously, for acts of military heroism above and beyond all other acts of bravery.

Olympos is, in Greek Mythology, the center of the Olympic Gods, and a great spiritual realm from where the Olympic Gods maintained order and balance in the Universe, or arguably the Earth.
