Oscar Swan: At the age of 72, he was the oldest sportsman to compete in the 1920 Summer Olympics. In fact, he was the oldest athlete ever to compete in the Olympics. His best results were in the team competitions: a fourth place in the single shot running deer event, and a second place in the double shot running deer contest. With this silver medal, he is also the oldest medalist of any colour of all time (not counting the art competitions). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Swahn

Shachar Tzuberi, a 22-year-old soldier from Eilat, has won Israel's seventh medal in Olympic history - a bronze in windsurfing. Tzuberi began the race - which took place off the Qingdao beach - in fourth place in the overall competition. To win a medal, he had to finish the last race at least four places ahead of the three competitors in front of him. In the event, he finished second in this morning's race, overcoming a false start; he returned to the starting line when he thought - mistakenly - that his start had been disqualified. He managed to make up for his delay, passing the first float in third place, and ultimately reaching second place. His second-place finish gave him an overall third-place finish in the windsurfing competition, and thus a bronze medal.
