Quote
An advantage for younger gymnasts is that they are lighter and, often, more fearless when they perform difficult maneuvers, said Nellie Kim, a five-time Olympic gold medalist for the former Soviet Union who is now the president of the women’s technical committee for the Swiss-based International Gymnastics Federation.

“It’s easier to do tricks,” Kim said. “And psychologically, I think they worry less.”


The New York Times broke the story so it has to be true.

Just noticed that when the first Chinese gymnast came to the Vault, NBC's graphic with the "Hometown" and "Age" said, "Age: 15".

We all know they're supposed to be 16.....   interesting...   Think it was just a "typo" by the folks at NBC????   :popcorn:

I actually think they said that as long as the athlete is turning 16 in the Olympic year, it's okay....

Well they can get fucked, since that 12 year old won't turn 16 until the NEXT Olympic games in London.
