Boris Anfiyanovich Shakhlin (Russian:Борис Анфиянович Шахлин) (born January 27, 1932 in Ishim, Russian SFSR) was a famous Soviet gymnast.
According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, he "set a career record of 10 individual titles in the world championships and also won gold medals at three successive Olympic Games. His tally of seven gold, four silver, and two bronze Olympic medals placed him among the most-decorated at the Games". [1]
In 2002 Shakhlin was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame. [2]
