Hi, Paul Narracott became the first Australian to compete at both the Summer and Winter Olympics: he had competed in the 1984 Summer Olympics in athletics, and participated in bobsleigh in 1992. Hope it helps!
Wade Marrs is the youngest male at 18. Jen Seavey is the youngest female at 22.
Not sure about youngest competitor but he was just 14-years-old at the time and the youngest British person. No ... the youngest athlete at the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing was swimmer Antoinette Guedia of Cameroon (born October 21, 1995) who was 12 years and 300 days old when she competed in women's 50 meter freestyle. She finished 83rd out of 90 contestants. Tom was in fact the youngest ever competitor to compete in an Olympics other than in swimming at Beijing.
