This is the Russian delegation coming into the Olympic stadium. What events are all of these old guys in, horseshoes? Is there a checkers event now? Can you win a gold in early buffet dining? Sorry, that was probably uncalled for, but in all of the other photos of teams coming in, there is a smattering of older people. Somehow, the Russians have emptied out the old folks home and shipped them to China. If one of these dudes wins a medal in anything other than shooting, do a drug test, they have been scarfing steroids.

It doesn't fully answer your question but does address some 40+ and even 50+ yr old athletes. But you are right, this looks even older than that. Maybe this was the coaches section of the delegation?
