In these 2008 Olympics, we've seen:
Dara Torres, 41 years old, win silver for the US in the women's 50m freestyle;
Oksana Chusovitina, a 33-year-old gymnast (!), win silver for Germany at the vault;
Jason Lezak, 32, serve as the anchor to two gold-medal swimming relays for Phelps & Co.; and
Misty May and Kerri Walsh, 31 and 30, respectively, continue their indomitable reign over the sport of beach volleyball.
Congratulations to all athletes, but especially these ones for winning against competitors ten, fifteen, or even twenty years younger than themselves. Their successes are a refreshing contrast to the Chinese "women's" gymnastics team, whose members probably have yet to lose all of their baby teeth.
