The oldest Olympic champion in the world, Hungarian Agnesh Keleti, died at the age of 103, in Budapest Hospital in the Hungarian capital, according to what her spokesman, Tamás Roth, said yesterday.
The winner of five Olympic gold medals in gymnastics, the first of which was in Helsinki in 1952, was hospitalized last week due to pneumonia, days before she turns 100 next Thursday.
Keleti is considered the most successful gymnast in Hungary, having achieved 10 Olympic medals, including five golds, including one in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics and four in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, noting that she achieved this achievement after she was over the age of 30 against much younger competitors.
