Answer 2

For U.S. Athletes:

There is no age limit to compete.

However, some sports do have age requirements for health and safety reasons. Competition rules of certain international federations cite age limits as follows:

- Bobsled (minimum of 14 years old)

- Diving (minimum of 14)

- Equestrian (16 or older)

- Figure skating (15 by July 1 of previous year)

- Judo (15 or older), luge (16 or older)

- Soccer (under 23)

- Team handball (over 18)

- Wrestling (must be at least 17 on day of Opening Ceremonies).

There are no general restrictions among the International Federations on an "upper" age limit.

A person must be 16 during the calendar year in which the Olympics are held. So, a person could compete in the Olympics when they are 15 years old if they would be turning 16 later in that same year.

Answer 3

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.
