I think if Fischer is dead it'd make Ilmari Koppinen both the oldest and the last "major" masters athlete born in the 1910s (well, of course Frauda Singh is still alive and will end up outliving Koppinen and all of us...also, Koppinen has survived his "archnemesis" Emiel Pauwels by nearly 10 years). It also seems that most of the centenarian "icons" of masters athletics have died and the new ones haven't gained that much attention (with the exception of Hurricane Hawkins and Sawang Janpram).

 

Edit, well...Here, those born in/before 1925, excluded the most minor boring names, US-only names with italic:

Fauja Singh BEM ("1911") Sikh Tornado, likely around 15 years younger.

Nihal Gil (1915?/1916?-?) "Nippy", Canadian and won gold in the Americas Masters games in 2016. As far as I know, no news since and likely dead.

Julia Hawkins (1916) Known as "Hurricane Hawkins", got a lot of media attention for breaking records at 105 two years ago. Not much on her since, but I doubt she would die off-radar.

Ella Mae Colbert (1916) 100 meters dash recordbreaker 2016. B. 11 May 1916. Very frail now.

Frederico Fischer (1917) Recordbreaker, most recent news around 2020.

Rambai ("1917") "Grand Old Lady of Indian Athletics", but likely another complete fraud and only got notable during the last few years.

Ilmari Koppinen (1918) Professor. Still very active and competing for decades.

E. Gerald Meyer (1919) four gold medals at a 2019 US Senior Games, but a bit more known for being a chemist.

Sawang Janpram (1920?) Current recordbreaker covered by Inside Edition last year. Trained by his septuagenarian daughter.

Lester Wright Sr (1922) Broke Pellmann's record of M100 100 meters at Penn Relays but didn't reach Frauda's scores. His wife of 80 years died in June.

Roy Englert (1923) Senior Games current champion.

Toshio Kamehama (1925) Last year he broke the M95 record at 200 meters, but his record was broken last month. Could die off-radar unless he becomes the next Golden Bolt and competes until 100+.

Lauri Helle (1925) M95 weight throw recordbreaker. Wrote his most recent column a week ago.

 

I think the most impressive however is Earl Fee (1929) who was breaking M65, M70 records in the 1990s and is still competing and breaking records at 90+.

Ella Mae Colbert, masters athlete, dead at 107, turns out she died two days after my post.

That Madonna image reminded me a bit of Silvio Santos, made me check on how he's doing... Here's a somewhat recent unedited image.

Starting to look a bit ghoulish?

Silvio Santos "not the same person anymore" according to daughter. I'm not sure if she's saying his memory is declining or he's physically very frail (or both)

Here is a list of surviving People's Artists of the USSR. Remarkably, they all they all tend to receive an obituary in their home country (and usually one in Russia too). Many of these, particularly the Russians, are still popular and prominent even today. After the fall of the Soviet Union they remained well connected and some went into politics themselves. You'll often see them at photoshoots with Vladimir Putin or waving Russian flags at events in support of the annexation of Crimea.

• Nikolai Slichenko (IMDb) - Russian Singer - b. 27th December 1934
• Yury Solomin (IMDb) - Russian Actor/Director - b. 18th June 1935
• Oleg Tabakov (IMDb) - Russian Actor - b. 17th August 1935
• Virgilijus Noreika - Lithuanian Operatic Tenor - b. 22nd September 1935
• Armen Dzhigarkhanyan (IMDb) - Armenian Actor - b. 3rd October 1935
• ...

Yury Solomin hospitalised in unconscious and serious state, likely following a massive stroke and fall.

 

Solomin has been very ill for some years (heart surgeries, diabetes complications, appendicitis, gallbladder surgery, serious conditions in 2019 and rough covid in 2021) seems like this is his time.

Never mind, Yury Solomin improving (still in ICU) and working remotely from the hospital.
