    On another forum I am on this was discussed and one of the posters found a quote about it from a member of the US gymnastics assoc. He said the ideal ages for gymnastics is 11-14 as they are more flexable and have the ability to do a higher degree of difficulty on many tricks.

    A psychologist also said that children that age feel pressure much less than when older.

    i was wondering if the younger age was a benefit at all. thanks. but they still did excelently and in my opinion older gymnasts have an experience advantage. idk.....i think they still deserve to keep them.
