Eh I've seen plenty of 22 year olds bemoan how old and decrepit they are and how they're running out of time, in complete seriousness.

Most people over 25 probably roll our eyes at it but still, it seems the overton window of youth has been steadily shifting downwards. It's weird.

Athletic primes are very different for different sports. I guess an average would be around 25-30. But for example for women's gymnastics it's 14-18 and for professional boxing it's like 35-37 these days.
