The oldest Olympic winner, Hungarian gymnast Agnes Keleti, celebrated her 99th birthday.
The famous Hungarian gymnast of Jewish origin, who survived the Holocaust, won 10 Olympic medals during her career, of which five gold, three silver and two bronze.
She won one gold in Helsinki in 1952, and four in Melbourne in 1956.
"It's not the medals that matter, but the experiences that come with them," Kelti said, adding with a smile: "I loved gymnastics because it was possible to travel for free."
She started doing gymnastics at the age of four, and at the age of 16 she won the first title of Hungarian champion.
Keleti survived World War II using the personal documents of a girl from a Catholic family, working as a maid in the countryside. Her mother and sister survived the whirlwind of war, but her father and other relatives were killed in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
After the war, she returned to gymnastics, winning an appearance at the London Olympics in 1948, but was unable to perform due to an injury. Four years later in Helsinki she won four medals (gold, silver and two bronze), and in Melbourne she won six more medals (four gold, two silver).
During the Olympic Games in Melbourne, Soviet troops entered Hungary, and Keleti decided not to return to her homeland, but moved to Israel.
A few years ago, she returned to Budapest, where she still lives today.
