If you start gymnastics at the age of ten is it possible to be in the Olympics later on?

You would probably be set in a class for your age, because when I started I was 10, and they put me in the 9 and up age group.

What is the age of the youngest gymnast?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on whether this is a female or male.

For females, the age divisions work like so: if one turns a certain age during the competition season, that determines what age group she will be in. For instance, girl A turns 15 in January, and the age groups are 11-14, and 15+. Since she turns 15 before the competition season ends, she is in the 15+ age group. Girl B turns 15 in July, therefore, she is in the 11-14 age group because state/regional/national championships are before July.

So, to be able to compete level 10 women's artistic gymnastics, a girl must already be, or turn 10 for the competition season.

How old is too old to start gymnastics with a possibility of going to the Olympics if you have had prior training?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

well i think 15 is to late because if your 11 12 or younger you get a better start but younger than 11 12 will be much better; 15 is too old to start because about when your 18 you start and 3 years is not enough;

The above would be true for ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS but not so much so for other Gymnastics sports (there are Seven competitive Gymnastic Sports) of which many are NOT Olympic sports. BUTTT.. they are amazing sports, highly contested thru out the world and have a very viable WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS event. List Olympic Sports- Trampoline, Rhythmic, along with the two you know.... Men's and Woman's Artistic. Non-Olympic: Tumble and Trampoline Gymnastics, Acrobatic Gymnastics, Group Gymnastics, Aerobic Gymnastics.

I would Say TnT or Acro would be your best bet if your in the USA to get to a world level if you are older.

What will be the future of gymnastics?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since the change of the scoring system for elite gymnastics everybody os packing their routines full of skills just to get a higher start value. With all the skills a lot more injuries are happening. If they don't change the scoring system back to a 10.0 start value gymnastics is going to go downhill and fast. So the future is going away and it is a shame for the young kids now that are trying to go elite and follow their roll models like Shown Johnson.

What are some tips to learning a front handspring?

User Avatar

Asked by Spaceandhistory

Tips for learning to do a front handspring might include:

  • Always have a "spotter" with you.
  • Make sure to do easy stretching first to warm up your muscles.
  • Remember that the head is the heaviest part of the body.
  • You'll need to tuck your chin slightly while still looking ahead.
  • The hips are hard to bring over.
  • The forward momentum comes from your legs.
  • Practice doing head-over rolls on a flat surface - such as a padded floor in a gym or on grass (no rocks).
  • Keeping the legs together OR lifting one leg followed by the other -- either one changes how you'll roll and come back up.

Airplanes, The Final Countdown, Eye of the Tiger, Tik Tok, Do You Remember, I Like It, Bulletproof, Four Minutes, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Just Dance, Poker Face, Splish Splash, Bills Bills Bills, Under the Sea (From Disney's The Little Mermaid), Here Comes the Sun, Seussical the Musical, All That Jazz, Teenage Dream, DJ Got us Falling in Love, and many others.

If you go to www.floormusicexpress.com you can get some good songs but they are expensive.
