Top five youngest Olympics gold medal winners of all-time
Nadia Comaneci
Nadia Comaneci is from Romania and is a Five-time Olympic gold medalist. In 1976, she became the first gymnast to receive a perfect score of 10. She was merely 14 years old when she secured the Gold at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. Interestingly, back then, a gymnast had to be 14 to participate but later the age limit went up to 16 years. Therefore, Nadia’s record cannot be broken.
Fu Mingxia

She won a gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona when she was just 13 years and 345 days old. Fu Mingxia dominated the sport throughout the 1990s with her skills of extremely difficult dives. In the coming years, she won three more Olympic gold medals and a silver across the platform and springboard events.
Nishiya Momiji
The ongoing Tokyo Olympics saw a few record-breaking feats in the skateboarding event. Japan’s Nishiya Momiji became the first ever women’s Olympic skateboarding champion. The athlete is merely 13 years and 330 days old, which makes her one of the youngest individual gold medal winners in the history of the Olympics.
Klaus Zerta
Klaus Zerta was only 13 years and 283 days old when he won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy. Klaus was from West Germany but represented the unified team of Germany at the Olympics.

Marjorie Gestring
Marjorie Gestring of the US was only 13 years and 268 days old when she won the gold medal for her country.
