I always liked this one of Walker. It is similar to the one already posted of Coe.
It is '76 Olympic final finish.

Marty won this race, but Ryun is still the guy who set me on fire when I was a kid.

First: No, you can't. The older pictures are from an era that appeals to many people, young and old. The cinder tracks, the simple shoes and clothing, the public wearing long coats and hats, etc.
All those pictures are from before I started running myself, but I like them a lot more than most newer pictures.

Second: Even if you could guess his age (and I asume you asume the OP is old), what's wrong with that. Should age be something to be ashamed of?
