Honestly, women can participate in gymnastics when they're over 20, but it is pretty uncommom today. In a majority of cases, the gymnast has been in the sport for almost their entire life,which also means that they have probably had their fair share of injuries. However, some olympic gymnasts in their 20's have had great succes( like Svetlana Khorkina and Oxsana Chusovitina).

How do you teach yourself gymnastics?
In my opinion.. you cant make yourself an olympic athlete by teaching yourself.. but you can definetly teach yourself the basics! I did it! I have a trampoline.. so i taught myself how to do flips and arials and stuff on that. Then.. i started using grass! I just starting flying all over the place.. doing a bunch of things! I can do back tucks, layouts, arials, handsprings, stuff like that! Im still not a gymnast.. but i do dance and my gymnastics deffinetly helps ! I am fearless.. so as long as your not afraid and are willing to takes some bumps and scrapes along the way, you can for sure do it ! :)
