Gail Devers won the 60-meter hurdles last night at the Millrose Games in New York's Madison Square Garden. She's 40.
OK, I know that track and field has had its share of issues with performance-enhancing drugs. But let's go with the assumption that she's clean, and no one is suggesting otherwise now. If that's the case, then she's certainly a stellar example of how it's possible to maintain, or even improve, your athletic performance as you age.
She also indicates that she has no plans to retire. "My grandmother lived until she was 98 1/2,'' Devers said, according to Tim Layden's column today on SI.com. "I'm going to live a long life.''
