Oldest Olympians is saddened to learn that American ice hockey player Arnie Oss, born April 18, 1928, died November 10 at the age of 95. Oss represented the United States in the tournament at the 1952 Oslo Olympics and won a silver medal. While this was his only international appearance, he had a successful college career at Dartmouth College.

At the time of his death, Oss was the oldest living Olympic ice hockey medalist. That distinction now goes to Swedish player Hans Andersson-Tvilling, born July 15, 1928. Andersson-Tvilling won bronze for his country at the 1952 Oslo Games, and just missed a second medal in 1956 after Sweden lost the bronze medal match to Canada. He won the World Championships in 1953, also taking silver in in 1951, and captured European Championship titles in 1951 and 1953, in addition to bronze in 1955. Domestically, he was a four-time national Swedish champion with Djurgårdens IF. His twin brother Stig had a similar record in the sport, including the Olympic bronze.

Finally, we have an Olympic mystery that we forgot to include in our previous post, regarding British sport shooter Steffen Cranmer. Cranmer represented his country in six events across three editions of the Games – 1952-1960 – but never reached the podium. He was a World Champion in the 50 m small-bore rifle prone team event in 1958 and was still alive in 2012. An unsourced Wikipedia edit claimed that he died in July 2019, but we have been unable to confirm this.
