Part 2/8:
At the tender age of 21, Usain Bolt represents youthful vigor in sprinting, while 31-year-old Bolt signifies experience and endurance. Bolt set the record at 9.58 seconds when he was 23, a feat he never replicated, which raises an important question—does age hinder performance or simply alter it?
While sprinters often peak in their late twenties, the trajectory of physical and mental performance reveals a more complex picture. Many athletes achieve their fastest times in their athletic primes, yet not all aspects of performance dwindle as we advance in age. This prompted a deeper exploration into the stage of life and its impact on capabilities across a range of disciplines.
