Answer 4

You would be tall, but not TOO tall.  There have been taller.

For your height that is a fine weight.

Now, if you have never been in gymnastics before, 16 is cutting it awfully close, but no you are not too old.

Answer 5

Gymnastics is a sport that requires LOTS of training, practice, patience, endurance and discipline. I competed in gymnastics from the age of 6 to the age of 13 and was in level 7 (level 10, 11 is like Jr. Olympics training)

I don't think you're too old to start, but don't expect to be doing back handsprings on the balance beam any time soon. Just be aware that about the age of 19 or 20 for women is when you start seeing a decrease in flexibily. so I'd say you have about 4 good years left to learn what skills you desire in the sport of gymnastics before it gets more difficult.

Good Luck!!!!!!!! Gymnastics is THE BEST SPORT!!!!!!!

Answer 6
