Boris Anfiyanovich Shakhlin (Russian:Борис Анфиянович Шахлин) (January 27, 1932 - May 30, 2008) was a Soviet gymnast who was the 1960 Olympic all-around champion and the 1958 all-around World Champion.
Shakhlin was born in Ishim, Russian SFSR. He began gymnastics at the age of 12. 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]
Shakhlin retired from competition at the age of 35 after suffering a heart attack. He joined the FIG Men's Technical Committee in 1968 and continued to work on the Committee until 1992. In the 1990s and 2000s, he worked as a lecturer at the University of Kiev.[2]
In 2002 Shakhlin was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame.[3][2]
