Gymnastics? Help!!!!!?

Question

my sis is ten and she wants to start gymnastics and be in the olympics and you know compete. do you think she can pull it off? i mean she can do a cart wheel but she'll have a chance when shes 18 and 22 please help. we don't know to sign her up or not!

Answer 1

Yea she has a chance for the olympics but she would have to work really hard and sacrifice some stuff.

Answer 2

you need to put her in a top gymnastics training gym they got them all over the states

the really big ones are in Colorado

she should be able to learn fast and it would help if she has some muscle tone and small build adn flexibility is a huge plus

she needs the right training but it does take a few years to learn

difficult gymnastics

from a cartwheel she has to go to a roundoff to a back walkwover to a front walkover, to a front handspring, to a one handed cartwheel to an aerial, to a backhandspring, to a roundoff backhandspring, to a back tuck, to a layout, to a twisting layout, to an arabian, a double front, and so on to be olympic level

you gotta get her some world class trainers to progress that far

Answer 3

No offense, but this dream will probably die down once the Olympics are over. However, you can just enroll her in gymnastics classes and see how she progresses from there.

Answer 4

absolutely sign her up!! if she has a dream, no one can stop her from reaching it. however, i want to make it to the olympics for gymnastics as well, but it doesn't necessarily matter how long you train for, but who you train with. start her out with a group that isn't too hard core but if she wants to make it to the olympics, she's going to have to go to professional, hardcore coaches. gymnastics is no joke and i hope she knows that. she is going to have to be ready for some grueling training when shes older, but until then, let her have some fun and get better at the sport! =) good luck and i hope to see her on t.v in 2016!! =) hope i helped!

Answer 5

I agree with Charlene, so maybe wait a month or two and if you still wants to do it, look up gymnastics classes in your area and sign her up!

Answer 6

Gymnastics is a fun sport that will keep her in shape and out of trouble, but the later you start, the harder it is to pick up.  My cousin was a gymnast that trained for the olympics, and she is AMAZING.  She never made it.  She started when she was 2, and by the time she was 10 she had surpassed all the levels of a normal gym, so her mom had to get her a personal gymnastics trainer and he worked with her for a couple years.  She never made the cut for the olympics.  Chances are soooo slim that you would make that team even after a lifetime of work, so she most likely would never make it. =[

Answer 7

if she can only do a cartwheel then she has heaps to train for but just remember that there is a very small chance of actually going to the olympics... if she wants to then there is nothing stopping her tho

Answer 8

i would sign her up if it is her dream let her try. it is best to enroll kids in classes when they are younger because they have more time to learn, pracice, and progress. i was in gymnastics when i was little and the first day i made team and i didn't know how to do anything except a cartwheel and i got to compete so let her try she might be able to do like i did and compete. she could be the next olympic gymnast. just encourage her and enroll her and also help her out. the best thing you can do is to help her and encourage her to go for it as much as you can

Answer 9

She won't have enough training and skill to be an Olympian.  

Answer 10

Anything is possible...though she is late on starting up...but u can sign her up to a good school for gymnastics specifically and encourage her as much as you can...who knows she just might win a medal. Good luck :)

Answer 11

u can jsut sign her up and let her do it 4 fun...i mean it's highly unlikely she will go to the olympiics but what is wrong with her doing it 4 fun?

Answer 12

Let her do what she wants to. Try not to hold her back at such a young age. Who knows, she might be the next best gymnast
