The youngest American gymnast is Bridget Sloan, who was born on 6/23/1992. Bridget is 16 years old. Shawn Johnson is the second-youngest American gymnast, born on 1/19/1992.

Gymnastics international federation (FIG) requires that senior elite gymnasts (Olympic level) be 16 years old, or turn 15 years old before the year ends, to compete internationally at the Senior Level.

This requirement means that a girl on the 2008 Beijing Olympic team must either be 16 years old or turn 16 years old by December 31, 2008.

a leotard ---- I don't think you'll find too many guy gymnast, no matter what gymnastic sport they do, who call their uniform a leotard (leo). guys you have: competion tops or "Competion Tanks" comp. pants (used to be called whites cause they by rule had to be white. That's changed) comp shortsanti-gravityzone.com

Gymnasts wear leotards in gymnastics for a few different reasons. One is that they are very aerodynamic and comfortable to move in plus you don't have to worry about your shirt flying up when you are flipping through the air. Also, like any other sports gymnasts get sweaty and hot leotards and they only cover part of the body so girls can stay cool as they work out. Leotards often have intricate desings to show team unity like any other uniform and can show individuality. While on the bars if they are wearing a loose shirt it can get wrapped around the bar.

Also a close fitting leotard allows the coaches and judges to see who the athleat is moving which is the basis for scoring in gymnastics.

...

Coaches prefer a gymnast to wear a leotard while training, mainly because it keeps them from getting tangled in a gymnasts clothing while spotting.

Check out the Olympic site. I'm sure they'll know. Good luck!

She scored a 10 seven times acctually, but the first time she scored a 10, she was 14 years old.

High level gymnasts perform incredible feats that involve moving at high speed and flipping and twisting several times through the air. They also perform these skills on a wood balance beam that is 4 inches wide. In some cases, missing a catch on the bars or slamming into the beam could cause serious injury, such as dislocated elbows, broken bones, and head injury.

In addition, gymnastics involved pushing the body to and past its limit. Overuse injuries and stress fractures are prevalent in high-level gymnastics. To put it simply, the human body was not designed to do things like this: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y33/tahn_cowie/BeSsOnOvA_096.jpg Constant impact and pushing natural (and lack of natural) flexibility can lead to injuries and problems later in life, like the type seen in contortionists.

You don't need to be skinny to do gymnastics it's just a matter of how flexible you are. Everyone's different, so it doesn't make any difference whether you're overweight, underweight or normal it just depends on flexibility.

no, if you work hard and practice alot a back flip will become really easy to you. You just have to stick at it! Ask someone you know who can do a back flip to help you at first.

No, it's hard your first few tries but it gets easier. Ask your friends if they think a back flip is hard. It's not really.

Angel stunts in gymnastics are stunts that are performed by a single person. They are sometimes referred to as individual stunts.

It depends on your height. Im not exactly sure on the settings though.

The high of the upper bar is 241cm, lower bar 161cm and the distance between is 130cm or 180cm.

Water trampolines do not offer as much bounce as normal land trampolines. A good comparison would be a bounce house. You can get a visual of how much bounce you get from a water trampoline here:

Keep in mind that each brand and model will be different. The one above has a more elaborate spring system.

By the way, water trampolines without springs are called water bouncers.

Well you will usually have six gymnasts that will make the qualifications to compete in the Olympics. Then during the qualifications to see who will compete on which event you can have as many as 5 gymnasts but only the top four scores are counted.

I think horseback riding is much more dangerous. Remember that the rider of a horse has to control a 1,600 pound animal with little more than a pair of reins. Horses, like all animals, can be unpredictable. They can buck, rear, etc at any moment. And, sometimes if you fall the horse might land on you. So I believe horseback riding is much more dangerous, even though soccer can be, too.

Target, WalMart, Kmart all sell them. Target has a nice kit including a mat.

the dictionary definition for these words are: stunts-- a performance displaying a person's skill or dexterity, as in athletics; feat: an acrobatic stunt.tumbling-- the act, practice, or art of performing acrobatic tumbles, usually on a mat or the ground. stunts are like in cheerleading when you see a girl getting thrown up in the air or people holding a girl in the air, that's a stunt. tumbling is considered things like cartwheel, front roll, round-off, back-handspring, back tuck, full, x-out, front tuck, front-handspring, etc.

Some of the events include:
