After 1996, the International Federation of Gymnasts instituted age requirements. No one younger than 16 can compete in these Olympics. http://www.speakout.com/activism/issue_briefs/1387b-1.html
There is no specific age limit to participate in the Olympics Games. However each sports federation is able to make their own age requirements if they choose to do so.
There were no age requirements.
Is there an age limit for the Olympics?
The International Federation of Gymnastics has a requirement of an athlete turning 16 years old in the Olympic year to compete. Figure skating has an age requirement of turning 15 by July 1 of the year before the Winter Olympics to compete. Other than that, there are no age requirements.
