PAUL Elvstrom, a yachtsman who won four straight Olympic sailing gold medals between 1948 and 1960, has died, the Danish sports confederation said yesterday. He was 88. Elvstrom, who was named Denmark’s sportsman of the century in 1996, died on Wednesday. When Elvstrom stopped competing after the 1988 Seoul Olympics, he put an end to a 40-year career that took him to eight Olympics. He also won 13 world championships and seven European championships. Elvstrom’s feat of Olympic titles wasn’t matched until British sailor Ben Ainslie won four straight ending in 2012.
