Can i start gymnastics at ae 12 to be in the olympics?

Question

I'm 12 and i luv the potential feeling of being in the olympics

Answer 1

Get started now!  You will regret it if you don't.

Answer 2

If you really want, go for it!

Answer 3

yea deff. just work hard

Answer 4

Sure. You can do anything you set your mind to! You may however be a little too old for Gymnastics unless you have already had training in that area. You have to be super limber and flexible and most gymnasts start out at the age of 3 or 4. But you definitely can do running, or swimming or anything else really

Answer 5

Yes, but you have to be 16 to be able to compete.

Answer 6

sure cuz in mens gymnastics they go deep into their 20's  

Answer 7

you can do what you set your mind to, but gymnastics is one of the hardest to start later than itty bitty because of the flexibility issue. With Olympics like this one though anything is possible.

Answer 8

i want to do that too and i am 13, it's so possible. i wanna try but it won't happen i don't have that kind of time.

Answer 9

sorry to tell you but you are underage i think the minimum age is 15  

Answer 10

your a little old to be starting, but maybe you have talent..contact some gymnast group and get evalusted

Answer 11

yes  in the next summer olympics but you have 2 qualify for them and you have 2 be 16 by the time they start

Answer 12

Of course! You'll be able to be in Junior Olympics, but you'll have to be invited. My friend's little sister is 9 years old and she runs track in the Junior Olympics so you're def. old enough, go for it and good luck.

Answer 13

I don't know, are you flexible right now?

olympic gymnasts start when they're around 8 or younger because they are still flexible

I think you could definitely try if you have a passion for gymnastics

Answer 14

yes, but in my opinion, i feel that it is still young to join, though i doubt that thirteen years old is the right age.

it maybe good for you to have a passion at such a young age.

Answer 15

its possible. just keep at it. alicia sacranome started at 8 and is on the team. although 12 is 4yrs older than 8, alicia proved that u dont have to start at a real young age..  

Answer 16

It depends on how well you can learn.  I mean your getting near the age of being able to go to the Olympics so it would be harder. Most people start practicing and a young young age. But its possible, I believe.

Best of Luck =]  

Answer 17

You can start now. However, there is no guarantee that you will end up in the olympics. Gymnasts don't usually hold up past their teenage years. You might have a knack for it though. Who knows? Good luck!
