He used to be considered the oldest gold medal winner of all time (1908), but this was not true, because Joshua Millner was older than he was when he won the Free Rifle, free position in 1908. He claimed that title in 1912 though. In 1920, he did become the oldest medal winner ever. He qualified for Paris, but had to remain home because of ill health. He collected more than 500 prizes in his career.  His son : Alfred Gomer Albert Swahn
