My procedure is to sort Mirko Jalava's 2008 World Deep Lists
<tilastopaja.org> for each event by year of birth, starting with 1973
and backward from there, to identify all athletes on the list of
masters age levels (35 and older on the date of competition). In
summarizing the lists, I've bold-faced the data for the oldest on the
list, and also have noted the youngest athlete on the world list in
each event.
After checking the men's lists again, twice, I have it now that there
were four men on the TJ list. There were several men born in 1973 who
didn't qualify, since they had not yet reached their 35th birthday by
the date of the meet where they scored their seasonal bests. There may
be a problem in this, since the jumper may have recorded his own
"masters best" after his birthday, although lower than his seasonal
best. I don't know of a way to handle these exceptions using the
materials available to me.
Here are the mens and womens lists as I have them now. (And BTW, Happy
Thanksgiving to any Canadians who may be reading. The Yanks will have
to wait another month. Maybe by U.S. Thanksgiving I'll be able to
finish with the masters lists for the marathon--if ever.)
