Japan has competed in the Olympics since 1912 so that's 100 years exactly :)
The Swedish shooter Oscar Swahn was 64 when he won a gold medal in shooting during the 1912 Stockholm Games. Hiroshi Hoketsu is a Japanese equestrian who finished 9th in the Dressage Team Grand Prix and 35th in the Dressage Individual Grand Prix at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He was 67 years old.
The first ever Olympics lasted only one day but gradually grew to five.
Andrew Hoy has competed in the Olympic games seven times. The years were 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2012. He has three Olympic gold medals and one silver.
There was no one by the name of Lillian Boardman that competed in the Olympics. There was a Lillian Board that competed for Great Britain that won silver in the women's 400 meter dash at the 1968 Games in Mexico City. She was a gold medalist at the 1969 European Championships in the 800 meter run and 4x400 meter relay. Tragically, two years after competing in the Olympics she passed away from stomach cancer at the age of 22.
