arghton 6,700 Posted October 7, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong but seems like there are only three living who participated in the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics, atleast according to this site: Iris Cummings (1920-) Swimming Elda Cividino (1921-2014 Off-radar) Gymnastics Joan Langdon (1922-2022) Swimming The site doesn't mention there being anyone alive who participated in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936 olympics.
