Age difference between youngest and oldest First Stage clear

[xelA197]

Based on Sasukepedia, here is the age difference in each tournament (except 41) between the youngest and the oldest competitor to have cleared Stage 1. The age is calculated based on whether or not the competitor's exact day of birth is known, if this isn't known, then the age is calculated with the competitor's estimated year of birth. If you see any error please correct me.

Still blows my mind how we got literally TWO 40+ old clears across the first 20 tournaments, and we're regularly getting more than that per tournament these days lol.

Also Takeda is the only competitor to be both the youngest and the oldest clear of a tournament (though in 5 he was the youngest out of 3 competitors)
