@Dragon?

 

Apparently not the last, John Lysak is still alive for example.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lysak

 

Too bad this awesome page is all messed up now for some reason:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Canadian_Paul/Olympics

 

At least the first athlete on the list is still listed as alive and competed in 1936.

Here's my source:

 

https://acsweb.ucsd.edu/~ptchir/

 

:USAJohn Lysak is the oldest living Olympic Games participant. He will turn 106 years old in August.

 

:SWE Folke Alnevik is the oldest living Summer Oympic medallist (bronze in 4x400 relay 1948). He turned 100 years old on New Year's Eve.

 

:HUN Agnes Keleti is the oldest living Olympic champion. She is actually older than Elda Cividino but only made her Olympic debut in 1952, some 16 years after Cividino.

 

:ITA Celina Seghi is the oldest living Winter Games participant (4th in downhill & combined in St. Moritz 1948). She turned 100 years old in March.

 

:SWE Carl-Erik Asplund is the oldest living Winter Olympic Games medallist (bronze in 10,000 speed skating 1952).

 

:URS Viktor Shuvalov is the oldest living Winter Olympic champion (Ice Hockey center, 5 goals/2 assists in the 1956 Games).

 

Apparently all the medallists from St. Moritz 1948 are no longer alive. The last Oslo 1952 champion passed away in April of last year ( :FIN  Lydia Wideman, gold in 10km cross country).

She turns 100 in January and as far as I know from someone who is quite close, it's gonna be quite an event in Hungary.

      It's really funny - the VO has had a constitutional majority for 16 years and someone always blocked him from fulfilling its brilliant plan Without these hostile actions, Hungary would probably have been at the level of Switzerland in terms of GDP a long time ago Btw., in sports, Hungary probably also had better results in the 90s and early 2000s than during the VO era? I mean in the summer, because in the winter, apart from the episode with the Liu brothers - now China in short track, it's probably always been pretty poor level.

      For me is aimed at domestic consumption. BTW, Brussels and Ukraine is happening at the same time as far as constructed "enemies" are concerned. Does anyone still fall for this? Maybe someone over 80 years for sure.  A couple of years ago (but after the war broke out) an old man (in his own admission he was 82) in a local bar tried to convince me that without Don Vittorio in the government, I would be already fighting in Eastern Ukraine  Needless to say, he was unsuccessful.

      pdr4332   Explain to me what this Ukraine thing is all about? Isn't this just another Orban tactic to focus on this before the elections, instead of discussing, for example, the fact that during the 16 years of VO's rule in Budapest, Hungary's GDP has fallen from the level of Poland/Czech Republic in 2010 to under Romania's? Does anyone in Hungary still fall for this, because it seems like something like this happens every 4 years: Soros, Brussels, now Ukraine and who will be next
