Answer 1

yea of course as long as you can do wat you need to do in order to get on a team then yea of course you can ive never heard of people being restricted from gymnastics because of age.

Answer 2

Junny:

Yes but she has been doing gymnastics since she was like 4 or 5.

Nothing will inhibit you much from doing gymnastics except the asthma. No of course you probably will never be as good as an olympian, but it would be a fun thing to try.

You can not be too heavy, though. And you gotta be flexible.

It will be much harder for you to do gymnastics that say a 7 year old.

Answer 4

if you are 17 and never before have you done gymnastics but is flexible you have a chance.
