Why didn't America? Anonymous
If being young is such an advantage, why didn't America pick a team made of 16 year olds?

Nastia Liukin 18
Chellsie Memmel 20
Alicia "oops I fell" Sacramone 20

We don't have Gymnastic sweat shops where we pump out 16 year old athletes.

because that would mean they would have been training before they were 16 which is frowned upon because of bone structure and other stuff.

women's gymnastics leaves me uneasy.
they are obviously gifted athletes but the fact that very young girls seem to have a physical advantage in the sport is bad.

They don't train them as hard as they could until they get a certain age lest the media get wind of it.

Gymnists start out pretty young. I think it's just that the Chinese kids are worked much much more at a younger age.

China has been doing this for hundreds of years since gymnastics is incorporated into a lot of things like the Peking Opera and various other shows.

Because Johnson and Lukin are the best in the world, hands down, don't matter their age.
