    Default Unmatched Virility of the Macedonians

    Did you ever have an older competitor at the Olympics?



    This guy is 57 and decided to take part for the first time... He didn't succeed btw.

    I had a makedonian that won in the olympics at age 47(not too old, but not exactly young, either), and also had the same last name as Stageirites (Ptolemas), but maybe it was because he was in supreme physical shape, governing all of egypt proper in its harsh sun...

    These are bugs. Nobody over 40 should be able to compete.

    He could have owned a chariot team. Women even won (very rarely) at Olympia because of this.

    Kynistra! Glad to see I learned at least 1 thing over the 2 year course


    Anyway, the spartans apparently had men well into their 80s serving and dying as hoplites, so what's so special about a 57 year old olympian?
