Anyone can begin a new sport or activity at any age. Gymastics may be a little more advanced, however, than others, for it requires specific skills that your body needs time to adapt to and build on. I would advise you to be very interested and serious in this activity before beginning, and maybe signing up for a few beginner classes to see if it is something you are really interested in persuing.
you have to be 14 to enter your self in the Olympics.
In diving, unlike gymnastics, a competior can be 14. The answer is simple, because they are China. Known of doing such things, http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/547107/china_knock_off_and_piracy_capitol.html The malicious rumour has been cleaned up, in Olympics, you have to be over 16 years old to participate in any of the events. So there is no way a diver can be 14 years old in Olympic Diving.
ive seen as young as 14. The minimum age for gymnastics is 16 (but nobody told the Chinese).
oh is that what you call it, competing i thought australia were there just for fun this year lol, only joking sorry:), i believe the age restrictions vary, for example a 14 year old wouldnt be able to compete in boxing but could in gymnastics, i think generally if you are good enough, age is just a number
She was younger than the others but not too young. She was 17, which is old enough to participate. Nadia Comaneci was 14 in the 1976 Olympics. It was okay to be 14 years old in the Olympics at that time, but now you must at least turn 16 during the year of the Olympics to participate.
13 turning 14 that year!! through 18 years!
Of course!

There is no height limit for gymnastics. And I am not sure about the age. I am 14 and I do gymnastics and I think that like 16-19 is too old. But there is no age limit

Tom has Dived in 2 Olympics so far; the Beijing 2008 Olympics and the London 2012 Olympics.
