Ágnes Keleti, a Holocaust survivor and the oldest living Olympic medal winner, has died at the age of 103. She won a total of 10 Olympic medals in gymnastics, including five golds, for Hungary at the 1952 Helsinki Games and the 1956 Melbourne Games. Keleti overcame the loss of her father and several relatives in the Holocaust to become one of the most successful Jewish Olympic athletes. After the war, she sought political asylum in Australia and later immigrated to Israel, where she worked as a trainer and coached the Israeli Olympic gymnastics team until the 1990s.
