The world's oldest Olympic gold medallist Feroze Khan, who played hockey for the then British colony of India at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, died seven months after celebrating his 100th birthday.

"Khan was a contemporary of Indian hockey great Dhyan Chand"

I think they might mean field hockey because the 1928 winter olympics were in Swizterland.

Back then, the summer and winter olympics were held in the same years.

There was a field hockey event in 1928 with India taking part:
