[...] but frankly Olympic tennis mixed doubles is just about the most absurd Olympic sport there is.

 No, it's not.  Beach volleyball, synchronised swimming &, from next year, golf are! furious

 

Oh, yes it is  !

The fact that it surpasses all these ( and I love so much about tennis ) says it all.

A belated congrats to Martina (double doubles champion!) and Leander for a superb run.

At age 42 and 34, are they the oldest couple to win it, does anyone know?

I think they just about tie ... Leander Paes and Martina Navratilova. Navratilova was 46, so 12 years older than Hingis ... but it was in 2003, so Paes was 12 years younger.
