Attilio Pavesi, the oldest Italian Olympic champion at 100 years, has passed away earlier this week in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The former cyclist was awarded two gold medals of the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, one in the individual road race and the other in the team event. Both were time trials over 100 kilometres.
