Add men's tennis to that list. As we speak it's being dominated by three players who are over 30 (Djokovic 31, Nadal 32, Federer 37!!!). We are not saying they are still competitive but rather they are absolutely crushing everybody else including the youngin's. Even more phenomenal is that all three of them are candidates for THE GREATEST male athlete who has ever graced tennis fields.

This was simply unimaginable even a couple years back when for decades ATP tennis had been considered a 20-something year olds' game.

Ah you are absolutely right! I recently read this article and it blew my mind to imagine that there are is such a concentration of talent in the older players.
