Australian Olympian Holt dies at 95
Shooter Neville Holt, who was Australia's oldest Olympian, died at the age of 95 yesterday. Holt represented his country in the small-bore shooting event at the 1948 London Olympics and participated in the Torch Relay at the 2000 Games in Sydney.
Equestrian gold medallist Bill Roycroft, aged 92, becomes Australia's oldest Olympian. He was in the team that won the three-day event at the 1960 Olympics in Rome and claimed bronze in the same competition in Montreal 16 years later.
