The Morning Call
The story of the world’s oldest living Olympian Agnes Keleti. Keleti turned 99 years old in January in her home city of Budapest. She won 10 medals in gymnastics – including five golds – across the 1952 Helsinki Games in Finland and the 1956 Melbourne Olympics in Australia.
Her family paid a heavy price during the Holocaust, which she survived thanks in part to assuming a false identity and working as a maid. Her Olympic memories she says does not centre on her athletic prowess but rather on the travel opportunities her sporting career afforded.
