Who were the youngest and oldest medal winners at the Tokyo Olympics?

1) Andrew Hoy

Australian Andrew Hoy became the oldest Australian Olympian to get on the podium, as he blazed past competition who were years younger than him to win silver in the Equestrian event. The 5-time medalist followed up the 3 golds, which he won in previous editions, with a silver and bronze at the Tokyo Olympics. "It is very, very special. We don't come to these championships, especially Olympic Games, to finish in fourth, fifth or sixth. We only come to get a medal, and look it has been a complete team effort. I've got a fantastic horse. I know I've been to [eight] Olympics, but I've done it with fantastic horses, and Vassily de Lassos is one of the world's greatest horses," said Hoy post his victory, reports The Guardian.

2) Abdullah Al-Rashidi

Kuwait's Abdullah Al-Rashidi became one of the oldest Olympians to win a medal as he won bronze in the men's skeet shooting event at the Tokyo Olympics.

Al-Rashidi did not care about breaking protocol as he draped his country's flag with pride and joy around him after his victory. "I am happy too much to see my Kuwaiti flag and second Olympic medal," he said after his victory, reports First Post.

"It was hard to believe, first the equine virus and then the accident...In the beginning, I couldn't talk about it at all, to be honest. But then I worked through it mentally.
