Jury Chechi Website - Historical Moment
It was a historical moment when the three Italian gold medalists Savino Guglielmetti (Los Angeles 1932), Franco Menichelli (Tokyo 1964), and Jury Chechi (Atlanta 1996) met on the Arena di Milano June the 12th 2002, during the shooting of a film about the life of Savino Guglielmetti. The event was particularly important because these three athlets are the only gold winners of the century, and there were 32 years between each occasion. Savino Guglielmetti is the oldest living gold medal winner in the world today.
