Are some sports harder to “age out” of than others?

Hey, just curious—do you think some sports allow athletes to stick around longer than others? Like, I see golfers and racecar drivers competing well into their 40s and beyond, but not so much in gymnastics or sprinting. Is it just about physical demands, or are there other factors? Let’s discuss!

Oh, totally agree! It’s wild how sports like golf or racing seem to embrace age and experience, while others like gymnastics demand that youthful explosiveness—guess it’s all about the body's specific limits!
