Are you too old for the Olympics? Age ranges of U.S. Olympic athletes
In the past three Summer Olympics, 64 of the U.S. team’s 1,707 athletes have been age 40 and older — and they won 23 medals. As we watch 16-year olds compete in the gymnastics events, even the 20-somethings among us look back regretfully and wonder if our glory days have passed. Here, we take a look at which sports skew young and which allow for more longevity.

I found myself wondering which sports had Olympians over 40.
The answer: Shooting, Sailing, Archery, Table Tennis, and Equestrian.

Speaking of which, there's also teenagers on the Olympic shooting team. What a range!
