The world’s oldest living Olympic gold medallist, the Hungarian gymnast Agnes Keleti, who escaped the Holocaust with false identity papers and the Soviet Union’s brutal clampdown on her home country by emigrating to Israel, has died aged 103.

Keleti, who did not compete in an Olympics until she was 31 but won more medals than anyone else at the Melbourne Games, died on Thursday in Budapest, where she had returned to live in 2015, the Hungarian Olympic Committee (HOC) said.
