Most distance runners don't reach their peak performance until they are 30 years old

I'm 27 and most people get real good at running when they're like 30. Why is that? The Kenyan guy could be 45 and know it, but there's a guy from Norway that's 19. That's crazy. So you do have another chance. You're going to have another chance.

Physiological studies and historical data show that many elite long-distance runners peak in their late 20s or early 30s.

The Olympic shooting competition should ban specialized gear and mirrors

When you shoot in the rifle competition, you have like, you look like a cyborg. It looks like you're wearing Google glass and like a mirror over your eye and all the shit. And that to me should go. Also, if you're shooting a rifle, there's no need to bring a mirror into the situation. You have a gun, and then you have a target and that's it.

Subjective opinion on how Olympic sports should be conducted.
