Wow, back in the olden days on the BBC his black-and-white routines with Belousova in the 60s always used to be shown as the epitome of classical elegance in ice skating.

Nickyc707 382 Posted November 12, 2023 #827 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) I apologise if this was reported at the time but 2023 saw the death of Félix Sienra of who passed away in January two weeks after becoming the longest lived Olympian at the age 107 years and 9 days. He competed in sailing at the 1948 OG. As an aside he also attended - and was almost certainly the last survivor of ‐ the first football World Cup final in 1930 when Uruguay lifted the inaugural trophy after defeating Argentina 4–2 in Montevideo. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/olympian-felix-sienra-uruguay-dies-1948-summer-olympics-b1057223.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Félix_Sienra https://acsweb.ucsd.edu/~ptchir/centenarians.html Edited November 12, 2023 by Nickyc707 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
