Love it. Here in Australia, one of our medalliats was 14, in skateboarding. She had obviously had some media training. It was lovely to hear her disregard that.

Interesting. Please provide a list of the athletes over 45.

Cool. At a glance, oldest are horse riders and sometimes shooters, youngest skateboarders and some swimmers.

The graph makes it look like there are 1000 athletes who are 69 yrs old

thought the same at first glance. maybe a dotted line would work better for that?

The bracket that represents the age range of Olympic athletes doesn't represent a true displacement because the scale essentially stops at 11 going down.
