Fuck ALS, seriously.

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

One of the last, if not the last, survivors from pre WWII Olympics. Also one of the youngest medalists ever.

@Dragon?

 

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

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

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

Here's my source:

: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).

    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He chances the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for smal/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
    • I once read that Harris had never been to Europe before 2020, when she became vice president. On the other hand, her foreign policy will be more predictable, because it will be a continuation of Biden's policies. That is why I hope Harris wins, although the bookmakers are betting on Trump.
    • Harris is totally green on foreign policy. It will probably be a policy 100% led by Biden's people. Harris' main campaign emphasis is on abortion and women's rights.
    • So much for "everybody's laughing at us if we elect Harris"
    • My favorite tennis tournaments of the year (wta/atp finals)
    • was also invited to the special edition of the Bolivarian Games and seems like  is not participating.
    • Yeah this was amazing, the entire weekend was one massive rollercoaster every which way for everyone
