Who is the oldest Olympic medalist?

Question

Is it Norway's Hilde Pedersen who received a bronze in the cross-country skiing?

Answer 1

Norway's Hilde Pedersen became the oldest woman to win an Olympic Winter Games medal when she took bronze in the cross-country skiing 10-km classical event at the 2006 Torino Olympic Games. Aged 41 years and 189 days, Pedersen eclipsed the record of Raisa Smetanina who was 39 years and 354 days old when she won a gold in the 4x5-km relay for the Soviet Union at Albertville in 1992.

The International Olympic Committee has revised its records, because it was discovered shortly before the 2006 Games in Turin began that curling made its debut as medal sport back in 1924 and not 1998 as previously believed. C.A.V. Kronlund of Sweden won a silver medal in curling in 1924 at the age of 59 years 61 days, the IOC said, and he is the oldest participant in the history of the Winter Games.

The oldest gold medallist in the history of the Winter Games was also a curler from the 1924 Games in Chamonix, France. Robin Welsh Sr. was 54 years 100 days when Britain won the gold.

The oldest medallist at a Summer Games was Swedish shooter Oscar Swahn, who was 72 when he won a silver medal at the 1920 Antwerp Games, according to the IOC.

Answer 2

Olympic gold medalist Feroze Khan passed away Thursday April 21, 2005. He was the world’s oldest Olympic medal winner. "Khan died here peacefully and without any illness," his son Farooq Feroze Khan said to reporters in Karachi, Pakistan.
Khan played field hockey for India at the 1928 games in Amsterdam. Field hockey players use a shorter stick than ice hockey players. Khan learned to play using a tree branch while growing up in Jalandhar, which is located in north western India. He played center and right forward. Forwards play on offense and are the main scorers for the team.
In the early 1950s, he left India and moved to Pakistan, the bordering country to the west. He became a coach and a selector for Pakistan’s national team.
Khan learned he had become the world’s oldest living Olympic medal winner in 2004. He celebrated his 100th birthday in September of the same year and said to reporters, “I am proud to be 100 and am going great. This is ample proof of the fact that discipline and individuals with sporting habits can live longer.”
