Laura Kraut made history on Friday at the Olympics as she became the oldest US medalist at the Games in 72 years.
Kraut was part of the US equestrian jumping team that claimed silver behind Great Britain at Versailles, where the host nation France won bronze. At 58, she is the oldest American to medal at the Olympics since Everard “Ducky” Endt, who won a sailing gold medal at the Helsinki Games in 1952 at the age of 59.
