Age Group Rankings -
If I look at a segment I have done and then go to age group rankings for that segment - in my case that is 75+ - most of the people listed are not actually 75+ years old or even close, I know this because my neighbor is 43 but frequently shows up in the 75+ category.
Strava is not grouping people together accurately.
This bothers me because for many segments I would most likely be  #1 but I am bumped down because of these younger people who are in the wrong age group.
How can I get Strava to fix this?

Hi ​@nedjinski , you can report athletes if they had entered wrong birth dates via the gear icon in their Strava profile or contact Strava about it with the form on https://support.strava.com/hc/requests/new

There is a chance this is also a bug of the Strava platform. I have an account for more than a decade and when I made it, there was no requirement for adding age, which ended up creating problems for me when I joined this dev forum. I’ve never had to check age group stats or whatever, but there’s a chance that the platform, expects age, doesn’t get one and instead includes them in all search queries.

If you know any of them, can you ask them to check if they have set their age in their Strava profile?
