What is the average age of the top 10 Olympia finishers in 2007, 1997, and 1987?
On PBW, Bob and Shawn Perine discussed the lost camraderie due to pros being older. Being in their 30s, they were too busy with families to drop everything and live the BBing lifestyle in the Mecca. I was curious about the trends which could be shown here, if any.
