Oldest champion at "Rio 2016" revealed

Argentine sailor Santiago Lange clinched an extraordinary gold medal a year after losing a part of his lung to cancer.

The 54-year-old also became the oldest medalist at the Rio 2016 Olympics as he and partner Cecilia Carranza Saroli won the Nacra 17 mixed category.

Already a two-time bronze medallist in the discontinued Tornado catamaran class, Santiago was the most popular guy in the competition.
