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?

I am 28 and I swam from 4-21 and got back in the water 4 months ago. According to my splits in practice and how I feel I think that it is entirely possible to be great after your early 20's. The real test will be a swim meet. No matter what it is great to hope.....and have a dream no matter what age!
