what about sports with weight / height(?) limit, did they impose age limit even if the athletes have passed the other limits? is there a maximum age to participate?

  1. Well British diver Tom Daley is only 14yrs old. And that wasn't hidden.  As far as I know there is no age limit, only if it's detrimental to health.  And Daley's age will def go agaist him in his event compared to the other men because their bodies are more developed.


  2. There is no maximum age limit and there are no weight and height limits (excluding weight-classes).  Gymnastics is not the only sport with a minimum age requirement, all sports do for the Olympics.  The purpose is to make sure children are not pressured to over train at young ages.

  3. the age limit for EVERY olympic sport is 16 or at least 15 turning 16 in the year of the olympics you compete in the only reason the age was mentioned so many times during gymnastics is because there is a obvious problem with the chinese girls ages

  4. There are no age limits on entry if you Qualify but your physical fitness can be the main constraint in competing with younger people!

  5. There is no maximum age but weight does effect it. In Sports where your weight has an obvious effect there are different weight groups. Like Boxing, Judo and Rowing.
