Unless I'm mistaken Forsyth was just 18 in Barcelona which would make him 31 now. Certainly not too late if he's able to overcome all his injury problems and get remotivated.
He's a perfect example of why I don't get too excited over young phenoms like Andra Manson. These guys rarely improve and/or dominate an event. How many can you name who were "flashes in the pan?"

Whoa. How old is he now? I still have his 7'8 jump on my computer from Barcelona in 1992! Even if he was 20 then he'd be at least 34 by now...
