1920 is a wrong birth date, provided by NK Leadership Watch, which is often unreliable about birth dates. According to North Korea itself Kim Yong-ju was born in 1922 so he turns 98 today. Also a 1972 NYT article reports him as being 50 back then, when he was considered the raising star of North Korea. I sincerely don't know where the 1920 date comes from.

Just announced that American canoeist John Lysak (wiki), the world’s oldest living Olympian, died back in January aged 105.

 

The oldest living Olympian is now Uruguayan sailor Felix Sienra (wiki) who is 104.
 

To settle a query from earlier this week, it’s also been confirmed that the oldest living British Olympian is 98 year old sailor David Bowker (wiki), who is a few months older than Edna Child.

It's a bit sad that someone who lives to 105 dies and no one even knows about it for the best part of a year. I hope they didn't find his body  rotting in his flat ...:(

 

It makes you wonder how many other centenarians are actually dead but no one knows about it.

Can’t work out if you’re a clever troll or suffer from terminal stupidity.

Edwin M. Cronk, U.S. Ambassador to Singapore (1972–1975), dead at 102.

George S. Vest now the oldest U.S. ambassador... I think. Turns 102 in December.


James F. Leonard, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. (1977–1979), died in August aged 100.

Another one from my old politico watchlist. I believe George S. Vest is now the only U.S. ambassador who is also a centenarian.

Instagram reporting the death of French winemaker and cook Lucie "Lulu" Peyraud (wiki) aged 102.

Her husband Lucien, also a renowned winemaker, died in 1996.

Translation:
"
This morning, Lulu joined Lucien. She stays with us forever - her joy and good humor fill our thoughts."

TBF, your post doesn't contain the minimum threshold of unnecessary exclamation marks to qualify as a Coffin_Lodger original.

Is she really over a 100 when this photo was taken? Because if so she looks quite sexy for a 100 year old.
