Simone Biles and the Olympians defying age

Many of the superstar athletes at the Paris Olympics are older than their peers have been in the past. Superstars like LeBron James, Katie Ledecky and Simomne Biles are forcing people to rethink how old is “too old” to be competing at the Olympics (https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olympics/2024/07/31/olympics-age-athletes-older-paris-2024/?utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=the-sports-moment) . 

Ava Wallace talks with Post sports reporter Emily Giambalvo and Post sports columnist Jerry Brewer about the significance of Biles’s gold-medal win last night at the gymnastics all-around, and whether it might signal a seachange for the Games moving forward.
