Older masters are like younger juniors where the same racers dominate across the board.
It's the young adult and middle-aged groups where specialization and genetic predisposition are rewarded.
Also, there are some athletes that are gifted enough to be able to train their bodies to perform at the highest levels in both Sprint and Endurance events. Jennie Reed is a modern example. She was top world-class and Olympic Sprinter and Enduro...but not in the same seasons.
