Some interesting info about elite athletes and VO2.  

Elite endurance athletes seem to be born with a superior cardiorespiratory system, as genetics is the largest factor in their extremely high values.  

At age 16, Lance Armstrong had a VO2 Max of over 80 ml/kg/min, almost double the average value for someone his age.  Even at age 16 he was destined to become a world class cyclist.  He later won the Tour de France and represented the US in the Olympics.  

The highest VO2 Max ever recorded is believed to be 93 for a Scandinavian cross country skier.  Here are some other world class values:

81 Jim Ryun - The first high school runner to break the four minute mile.

84 Steve Prefontaine - Placed fourth in the 5,000 meter event in the 1972 Olympics.

73 Grete Waitz - former female world record holder for the marathon.
