My procedure is to sort Mirko Jalava's 2008 World Deep Lists <tilastopaja.org> for each event by age 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.
