If Larry Ellison and friends decided they wanted to win world gliding championships who would they put in their gliders? 40 year olds tops. Sure there'd be old guys as coaches. Glider racers have coaches, fitness trainers and nutritionists right? How old were Jacobs, Moffatt, and Smith when they won? How old is Kawa? If the US wants a world champion the old guys need to give up their seats and support fast young pilots. I don't care if they choose not to, and certainly not saying they should. Just pointing out what it would take to win.
