Oscar Gomer Swahn (20 October 1847 -- 1 May 1927) was a Swedish shooter who competed at three Olympic games and won six medals, including three gold. An elderly but successful competitor, Swahn remains to this day the oldest Olympian at the time of competition, the oldest person to win gold, and the oldest person to win an Olympic medal.
