World's oldest living Olympian (a shooter)

[Brett]

1948 AMERICAN SHOOTER NOW WORLD'S OLDEST OLYMPIAN EVER . . . A new Olympic record of sorts was set last Thursday when American Olympic shooter Walter Walsh became the longest-living Olympian ever. On March 21, Walter Walsh, who placed 12th in the Men's 50m Free Pistol event in the 1948 games, reached 105 years and 321 days. Walsh's life as a youth in New Jersey shooting clothes pins with a BB gun and rats with a smoothbore .22 caliber rifle, as an FBI agent who apprehended some of the agency's "most wanted" and was shot twice, as a Marine in WW II and as an Olympian is celebrated in a press release produced by USA Shooting. Read the release.
