It all depends on your perspective. These days, many people say things such as "40 is the new 30!" meaning that today's 40-year-olds are more like yesterday's 30-year-olds (i.e., "young"-acting, -looking, or -seeming). To a 15-year-old or 20-year-old, 40 might seem ancient. To a 60-year-old or 70-year-old, 40 most certainly seems young. Practically speaking, 40 would be considered early middle age by most people.

In previous centuries, many people were lucky if they survived to see 40. In recent years, as life expectancy grows into the 70s, 40 does seem fairly young.

How old is 'young'?

I would say that young isn't an age. It is how you feel inside. I think that if you can keep yourself healthy and maintain to still go and be with friends or do whatever you want you are still young at heart. also, 5 is young, but 90 year old people consider 40 young. so whatever age you are you have a difff opinionn(:

I don't believe there are age restrictions; if you can qualify you can compete. You would have to be a unique talent to compete against the young dynamos that make it to the Olympic games.
