Former Olympian trying for comeback after 20 years: If you are over 40 and have Olympic dreams, it is not too late. John Stillings quit his sport after winning a bitter Silver in 1984. Now something changed inside of him and he is trying out for the 2004 Olympics, against athletes half his age. It is funny what a little change of attitude will do for you.

"I know what they mean about the whole taking-part experience, not the victory, but the real essence of being an Olympian. I can savor it now." Great link.
