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 think that ulimately everyone has the goal of wanting to win an Olympic gold....but a medal of any color is still a huge feat to accomplish. Just the fact of making the team and competing in the Olympic games is something that is an incredible accomplishment!! So..even if you don't medal at the games..look at the fact that you made it there in the first place!! See you in Bejing Dima!!:D
