The gold and two medals in the women's 12.5km biathlon extended Germany's lead at the top of the medal table with less than two days of competition remaining.
Earlier in the games, the 29-year-old Greis won the 20-kilometer biathlon and was part of his country's victorious relay team.
“I'm now going home with another gold medal,” Greis said. “I think this is a really good surprise.”
Ole Einar Bjoerndalen of Norway had looked like he would finally win his first gold, after coming to these games hoping for victories in all five biathlon events, but leading the field on his final visit to the shooting range he missed two targets to drop from first to third place.
“Sure, I came to the Olympics to win gold, but I was not good enough in the right moment,” Bjoerndalen said. “But I made three good races, and that's OK for me.”
Bjoerndalen swept all four biathlon events four years ago and has another gold from Nagano but could manage only two silvers and a bronze in Turin.
Greis finished in 47 minutes, 20.0 seconds. Tomasz Sikora of Poland was second, 6.3 seconds back.
Both Olofsson and Wilhelm missed one shot throughout the race but Olofsson, who competed in cross-country skiing at Salt Lake City four years ago, was stronger over the finishing stages, pulling away from Wilhelm to win in 40:36.5, 18.8 seconds clear of Wilhelm.
Uschi Disl took bronze to give Germany its 27th medal in Turin, 10 of them gold. The United States was in second place with 23, including eight golds.
