        Oh that just made him angry, I always added that no sport has the winner of a major tournament in their mid 40s.

          I mean… Tom Brady was a super bowl MVP in his 40s.

          Chris Chelios won a Stanley Cup in his 40s.

          But your point is well taken nonetheless.

          Sports that are more based on endurance than sprinting tend to have older people who do well. Mid-40s is pushing it for championship level, but you can still be competitive at that stage, and still participate well into old age if you don’t have any major health/injury issues.
