About Clara Marangoni
Lived 1915 – 2018 (aged 102). Clara Marangoni was an Italian artistic gymnast.
Carla Marangoni, (13 November 1915 – 18 January 2018) was an Italian gymnast who competed in the 1928 Summer Olympics. She was born in Pavia as Carla, but she is usually (mistakenly) mentioned in the official statistics as Clara. In 1928, she won the silver medal as member of the Italian gymnastics team and was therefore among the first Italian women to win an Olympic medal. She was also the last surviving athlete from the 1928 Summer Games. Marangoni died on 18 January 2018 at the age of 102 years. She was the 6th and last youngest medalist from the Olympic Games (12 years and 270 days) until the silver medal in skateboarding from the Brazilian Rayssa Leal in 2021 (13 years and 203 days).
