The pool deck tells no lies. At 30, Olympic champion Wang Shun just dropped a truth bomb that's making waves across the sports world: "My opponents have evolved from 80s babies to 90s kids, then 00s teenagers... now I'm racing against athletes born in the 2010s." Imagine warming up next to someone who wasn't even alive when you won your first national title!

In an exclusive post-Paris Olympics interview with CCTV Sports, the veteran swimmer peeled back the curtain on what it really means to grow old in a young person's game. That chuckle when mentioning his teenage competitors? That's the sound of an athlete who's made peace with Father Time.

"If I could restart at 15 with today's sports science..." Wang trails off, and you can practically hear the wistfulness. Modern young guns enjoy cryotherapy chambers, AI-powered stroke analysis, and nutrition plans crafted by algorithms - luxuries unimaginable when he was coming up through China's system.

But here's the twist: Wang's not bitter. His journey from "looking up at pressure" to "looking down at pressure" mirrors every working professional's maturation. Those of us watching our industries fill with fresh-faced talent know this dance all too well - the moment you realize you're now the seasoned veteran in the room.

The comment section exploded with relatable responses:

• "As a teacher, I went from being called 'big sister' to 'auntie' by students"
• "Still coding at 45 while my coworkers bring stuffed animals to the office"
• "When did tennis players start looking like they're in middle school?"

Wang's revelation hits different because it's not about decline - it's about perspective. That twinkle when he talks about mentoring younger teammates? That's the secret sauce. Maybe wisdom really does come with those extra candle on the birthday cake.

So here's our question to you: When did you first realize your field had gotten... alarmingly young? Share your "I'm the veteran now" moment below!
