 your body starts to "die" when around 18 years of age..

>And at what age do you lose your 100m speed? 

 if I got it right, L.Christie is the oldest man ever to win a 100m
olympic gold or something like that, and he's 32, but I'd guess there
are participants on 100m competitions and doing well that are older
than that. How old is Pietro Minnea or Calvin Smith?
