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 don't own a clown suit, but I don't believe you can beat me in a 1000 regardless of the type of suit you're wearing (or not wearing). I'll see you in May at the state meet in Raleigh, Swampthing. Loser buys the lattes (and I'll have mine at 180 degrees, please).
Eight 200s on 3:00? That's my warm up.
I regrettably admit that I was winded this morning, even with the rest I was getting. I wish I could bottle up a good week so I don't have these frustrating weeks.
Why wait til May, there's a nice meet in Charlotte in January you should attend. However, I'm still not nearly man enough to face you down in the 1000 without matching clown suits.
