gymnasts can be any age, but most gymnasts that get really good started when they were very young, sometimes only 3 years old. many gymnasts start around age 5, but there are gymnasts who don't start until 8. to be in the Olympics, gymnasts must be fifteen or sixteen at least.

Gymnastics

Ritual exercises and routines predate written history, mainly as Martial Arts training. The Greeks established gymnastics as a sport, notably in the Olympics, around the 8th century BC.

During the Renaissance, the physical therapy publication De Arte Gymnastica (combining exercise, health, and hygiene) was written in 1569 by Italian physician Girolamo Mercuriale.

Gymnasts

Most start as young as 5 or 6 and go until they are 17-19 unless they are Olympic bound. Most of the time, if you are not Olympic bound by 15 or so, that's the end of your career. There are unique cases however, where there will be a 30 year old Olympic gymnast.
