A 67-year-old Japanese man is planning to compete in the Olympic Games in Peking next summer. Hiroshi Hoketsu, a horse rider who will turn 67 next month, is already a former competing athlete. But his last participation dates back to the 1964 Olympic Games, which were held in Tokyo. Should he compete, Hoketsu will be the oldest Japanese athlete to participate in the Olympics ever.
Unfortunately for mister Hoketsu he will not be the oldest athlete to have participated in the Olympic Games. In order to obtain that record he must also take part in the next Olympics, which will be held in 2012 in London. The record of oldest athlete is currently held by Oscar Swahn from Sweden. Swahn was 72 years of age when he took part in the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp.
