How old is too old to start gymnastics with a possibility of going to the Olympics if you have had prior training?

Answer 1

well i think 15 is to late because if your 11 12 or younger you get a better start but younger than 11 12 will be much better; 15 is too old to start because about when your 18 you start and 3 years is not enough;

The above would be true for ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS but not so much so for other Gymnastics sports (there are Seven competitive Gymnastic Sports) of which many are NOT Olympic sports. BUTTT.. they are amazing sports, highly contested thru out the world and have a very viable WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS event. List Olympic Sports- Trampoline, Rhythmic, along with the two you know.... Men's and Woman's Artistic. Non-Olympic: Tumble and Trampoline Gymnastics, Acrobatic Gymnastics, Group Gymnastics, Aerobic Gymnastics.

I would Say TnT or Acro would be your best bet if your in the USA to get to a world level if you are older.

Answer 2

This depends on a few issues. If you are a very determined skier and you enjoy skiing a lot then it's never too late. I know this is kind of unrelated by some of the Olympic rowers only started when they got inspired in Beijing. Another factor is to try and join a skiing club if you live anywhere near Norwich I know there is one in Trowse. The last factor is to keep trying and DON'T give up as if you even give up for a year or two then it will be difficult.

Answer 3

It depends on the sport.

Usually 40 years of age is the end of most sporting carreers.

Answer 4

it depends if you have really good experience if you do why not go ahead

Answer 5

No it is not too late to join gymnastics. You may have to work little harder just to warm up and stretch your muscles more! Have fun and don't give up!
