Re: Paris Olympics 2024 -

Oksana Chusovitina was 41 when she competed in Rio in 2016. That's the record for oldest gymnast in the Olympics so far. I think a lot of times, elite gymnasts chose to retire early, I don't believe the Olympics has an age limit, it depends on the Sports Federation for each country, who finalize the team that goes to the Olympics. I remember reading that for the shooting events, participants have been well in their 70s, but that's from from a really long time ago, I think.
I do follow the Olympics and try to watch those events where my country is participating (Not going to name it for privacy reasons).
I also have some sportspersons who I absolutely love, so I am hoping to catch their games, if possible.
Sha'Carri Richardson, Andre De Grasse, US Women's Gymnast Team, Ariarne Titmus, Katie Ledecky are some of them.
