Italy's Carla Marangon, who at the age of 102 could be named the oldest Olympic champion in the world, died yesterday in Padova (veri), the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) announced today.
Marangon had won a silver medal in artistic gymnastics during the Amsterdam Games in 1928, and he was only 12.
