At least, I am still better than all the girls/women except in the HJ where I have to back up to age 16.ops:

Has the human race evolved that much in a half century? :?
Take a look at Robin Reynolds holding 3 age-group records in the 400m. She is already something special.

One more thing. I see completed marathons in children as young as 5. Five!!!! WTF? Why is this not considered child abuse?"A beautiful theory killed by an ugly fact."

But it is to the advantage to any athlete to begin training earlier than later, especially fast twitch and in particular type IIx.
If you can train, recruit and develop these muscle fibers to fire optimally at an earlier age, you again are better off than those who wait and/or never put forth the type of efforts those athletes who undertake this.
Again those athletes, even those gifted ones who start off earlier training, will be the better off as a result.
Or what it means to "...train, recruit and develop these muscle fibers to fire optimally"?
How would one know if muscle fibres fired less than "optimally"?

Don't want a reply to your post, you control that, simply don't post. That's the remedy right thurr...LOLon the road

As for the list, there are some high profile names there but the one thing that it shows is that even when young athletes are at the top of the game early, they aren't locks to be just as dominant when they get older.

Still doing it off the back of 23.3 he's obviously got pretty good speed endurance, for someone of any age.

Just check out the 100m times for 10 & 11 on that list, they're practically the same for girls and boys. It's kind of funny.

Originally posted by lonewolfMy grandson's 8 year old soccer team played a practice game with an elite 10 year old girls team. The girls were all a head taller but the boys were faster.
i was just lucky i didn't have to arm wrestle them, would have been an absolute beat down rather than a tie.

It surprised me too but the smaller boys simply ran away from the girls in chasing errant balls and the girls could not catch them on a "breakaway" ( if that is the soccer term) with the ball. Not that the boys scored on every shot on goal. The were fast, not accurate.
The girls team, btw, was the City 10 year old champ. The boys were City 8 year old champs. This was a post City Tournament "exibition" game. Girls won 3-2 on a last second desperation shot from mid-field. The lesson for the boys being: Don't celebrate a "moral victory" tie until the whistle blows.
