What would you say is the age limit for when you’re too old to start training for the Olympics?
Let me explain. Here I am watching these people compete, and especially the luge looks fun! In fact, I might even look up places where I can try out luge. But I’m in my later teens, so what if I’m too old? What if I decided this was really my thing and I wanted to try out? I doubt I will XD but what if I did? Would I be too old?
You can start in your teens, or even early 20′s.
The thing is though that it requires an enormous amount of time to get anywhere near good enough to get to the Olympics, and training gets harder and harder as you get older, so your chances start going down quickly.
