There is not one. In the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China, Germany has a female gymnast competing at the age of 33.
They can compete in the Olympics 1-2 times usually. Your body gets too weak by the time you reach above 25 to be good enough for Olympics compared to the other younger girls that are waiting to go.
Ancient Greeks were very serious about the Olympics that even when they are in the middle of a war,they will actually stop what there doing and go and play in the Olympics!
They go by what you can do.
yes actually she did when she was 16
The youngest American gymnast is Bridget Sloan, who was born on 6/23/1992. Bridget is 16 years old. Shawn Johnson is the second-youngest American gymnast, born on 1/19/1992. Gymnastics international federation (FIG) requires that senior elite gymnasts (Olympic level) be 16 years old, or turn 15 years old before the year ends, to compete internationally at the Senior Level. This requirement means that a girl on the 2008 Beijing Olympic team must either be 16 years old or turn 16 years old by December 31, 2008.
Gymnasts are typically very young, and yes, they are some of the youngest medalists at the Olympics (I assume that is what you are referring to), but the youngest Olympic gold medalist is actually Tara Lipinski. She is a figure skater that won gold in Nagano, Japan in 1998 when she was 15 years old. A gymnast could never beat this age because in order to go to the Olympics in gymnastics, the athlete must be 16 years old.

Of course. As long as you're dedicated and truly want it, it doesn't matter what organization you come from. You can do anything you set your mind to and don't ever believe anyone who tells you different. -'96 Olympic Boxer
