Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
“He was that Young at that Age” – Carson Cistulli 2013. Fabulous.
Competitive swimming seems to be the sport that (within my awareness of athletics) has the most young people. Micheal Phelps, for example, came fifth in the finals of 200 butterfly as a fifteen year old at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. More recently, “Missy” Franklin was thought to be one of the top overall female swimmers at the london 2012 olympics as a 16 year old.
Gymnastics. The females at least seem to peak between 14 and 18 (when their muscle mass as a percentage of body weight is at its highest).
Bees are not wasps. The distinction is important, since bees can only sting you once whereas the same wasp can sting you repeatedly (then again, bees are more likely to do this).
