The oldest living Olympic champion - 100 yrs. for the gold



According to the United Nations, nearly 570,000 people might become centenarians in 2021 (via Statista). On January 9, Agnes Keleti became one of them, but incredibly, it is not the most outstanding achievement in her life. The Hungarian gymnast won 10 Olympic medals, survived the Holocaust, and is the oldest living Olympic champion alive.

"These 100 years felt to me like 60,"


Remarkable story:
