Roger Beaufrand (September 25, 1908 March 14, 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. Born near Paris, France, Beaufrand won a gold medal on August 7 at the 1928 Summer Olympics in the field of Olympic sprint at the age of 19. 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. The 1928 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the IX Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event which was celebrated in 1928 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Amsterdam had bid for the 1920 and 1924 Olympic Games, but had to give way to war-victim Antwerp, Belgium and Pierre de Coubertin's Paris, respectively. The only other candidate city for the 1928 Games was Los Angeles, which would host the Olympics four years later.
