Roger Beaufrand (25 September 1908 – 14 March 2007) was the world's oldest Olympic gold medal winner, following the death of Pakistani Field Hockey player Feroze Khan in 2005 until his own death.[1]
Born near Paris, France, Beaufrand won a gold medal on 7 August at the 1928 Summer Olympics in the field of Olympic sprint at the age of 19.[2] A few weeks prior to his death, he was presented the Chevalier class of the Legion of Honor by fellow Olympic Champion Jean-Claude Killy.[1]
