GUO Jie, a former Chinese discus thrower who was the world’s oldest surviving Olympian, has died. He was 103.
Xinhua news agency said Guo died on Sunday. Guo represented China in the discus at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin after setting a national record the year before. At the Berlin Games, he produced a personal best throw of 41.13 meters but failed to make the final. Born in Dalian, northeast China’s Liaoning Province, in 1912, Guo studied agricultural science and technology at Tokyo University. In the 1950s he served as a coach and instructor at a leading physical education institute in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province. Guo carried the Olympic torch during the relay through Xi’an ahead of the 2008 Beijing Games.
