Bob NisbetOldest Person To Win An Olympic Medal - A Rifleman
How many shooters realize that the oldest person to win an olympic gold medal was a man shooting small bore competition with iron sights!!!
Oldest medallist?
It is generally believed to be Swedish shooter Oscar Swahn, who won the last of his 6 Olympic medal (a Silver in the Running Deer, Double Shot Team event) on 26 July 1920 at Antwerp. He was 72 years and 280 days old.
Damn! There's hope for me yet!
