Brady is now 40 years, the only player over 36 on the list. He is also 23 years older than the two youngest athletes on the list, 17-year-old American snowboarder Chloe Kim, and 17-year-old Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva.

The most common age among the most dominant athletes was 26, with six athletes at that age. In addition, more than half (30) of the athletes fall within a 7-year age range, from 26 through 32.
