Sandrews1313 is on a crusade to comment all over this post haha, yikes. Sorry to have bothered you to the point you spent your morning doing that. Weird way to spend one's time but....you do you.

Yeah I'm not a science expert either, I thought that was the point of shower thoughts, but oh well.

I agree that your theory makes sense. And my 17% is based off of max age (oldest human was 125) which is why I compared to max age of deer (even though it's rare deer make it to 17 in wild) for some continuity.

Average of all Olympians is 27, but there are a lot of events that are easier for older athletes to be competitive at. Gymnasts are typical much younger than 27, swimmers are younger. I wasn't just talking to strength, which is why is worded it as performance/potential (maybe I should have worded it more clearly). And it's not just Olympics, look at something like MotoGP, very mentally and physically demanding, needs high reaction time...they are considered OLD when entering mid 20s. I'm not claiming to be a scientific expert in this, it was a shower thought. But I appreciate your input though.

That's why is said can. Physically they CAN live 17, they get hunted and killed in the wild, but there's been studies to show their physical average max lifespan is about 17.

Why are most Olympic athletes in their late teens then? (For the very physically demanding events)

So essentially, deer decline starts with about 75% left and ours starts with like 83%. Why do we peak so early in our lifespan?
