Sandor Tarics, a water polo gold medallist for Hungary at the 1936 Berlin Games passed away at the remarkable age of 102. The oldest living Olympic champion, the news of his demise was reported by the Hungarian Olympic committee. An architect by profession, Tarics moved to the US in 1949 where he became a university professor and designed earthquake-resistant buildings. The Hungarians had won gold on goal difference over Germany in Berlin, in 1936. In an interview last year, Tarics said, "Sport is an area where people love each other. Sports competition leads only to good things among nations."
