Yep. The top women’s endurance athletes have always been somewhat older. That doesn’t tend to be the case in the same way for men, however.

I didn't know that. In many sports (gymnastics or tennis for example) women are often washed up at 20-22 years old.

Despite the age gap, 1st Sgt. Byars said Coast was treated just like every other Soldier-in-training.

she did better on her PT than most of the people her son's age in her basic training company.

You guys realize that this never happened don't you? That this is fake?

The woman did not meet the standard of the young male soldiers, she was not " treated just like every other Soldier-in-training" as any real soldiers know about.
