We all know that the best of the best who shine in the Olympics start at, like, age 3-5 and train hard thorought all the years to really achieve their best in their early-mid 20s.Out of curiosity, does anyone know any olimpians that started training very late, maybe closer to their 20s and performed very well at the olympics or were there "old" olimpians on the podium ever(in their 30s)?
And theoretically do you guys think it is possible for someone to start training at an adult age and win in the OLympics?

Girlie-man.
I get up before I even go to bed, leaving Alexandra Paul pleading for me to return to bed, eat gravel laced with cyanide for breakfast, go to the pool at zero-o'clock in the AM, chop 3 feet of ice out of the lanes, fight off the polar bears and then do 8X200 on 3:00 as a warm up to my warm up. I would tell you the warm up and the workout, but it would rip your sanity clean from your mind and leave you huddled in the locker room corner, weeping in fear.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
