Age of defenders

Hi sir alois, why joo plays well at the age of 34, 2014 Asian Games? he easily beats Chen Chein An and Chuang Chi Yuan the top caliber of Chinese Taipei.. why there is a big difference between attacker and a defender when it comes to age?? thank U..

Hi Jared,

This does seem to be a trend.

I think defenders take a little longer to mature as well so perhaps their period at the top is similar.  However, Chuang Chi Yuan is also 33 years old.
