Thanks for the response, Jim.

According to Lawson's World Record Breakers in Track and Field Athletics, Al
Oerter "attempted a comeback at the age of 43 for the 1980 Moscow Olympics;
he was fourth in the U.S. trials". Recently, Nick Bdera, 55, made the 2004
U.S. trials standard for the 50K race walk (4:45).

Good luck,

Bill
