Both science and the real world disagree with you runningChick.
Nick Willis set his 1500m PB at age 32 and he won an Olympic medal at age 33.
Bernard Lagat won the 1500-5,000 double at the world championships at age 32.
Kelly Holmes won the 800-1500 double at the Olympics at age 34.
What was El G pr at 31? How about Morceli? What about Allen Webb? Centro didn't exactly year things up. Some people make it to their mid 30s with minimal declines. They are the exception not the rule. Heck Look at Lagat. He won. He was also like 5s off his PB. He was winning cause it was a weak time in the event. Emma running 10s off her PB is what we are seeing. It makes her noncompetive.

Did you flunk math? Emma was only 5 seconds off her PB this year. Reports of her career’s demise have been greatly exaggerated.
