Oldest 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.
