Answer 2

10 if you're Chinese

16 if you're not

Answer 3

it depends on your contry.i know some countrys dont let people in the olympics until they're 16.

Answer 4

15-20 maybe......If you'll be in the Olympics,what sport would you like to play??Are you good at it?

Answer 5

There's a 14 year old diver so I think for diving it's 14, and I know you have to be 16 for gymnastics. I think it changes for each event.

Answer 6

i saw one chinese chick in the gymnastics today she had a face of about 9, and not sure if she missing a tooth or maybe its still growing in. id say shes just had a visit from the tooth fairy recently.  

Answer 7

I thought it was 14! Crazy and far too young if you ask me...

That 14 year old swimmer/diver Tom Daley took part in the Olympics, so I guess if he could, then the age limit was 14.

Correct me though, I might be wrong! =)

Answer 8

16, but apparently China and Great Britain didn't get that memo.

Answer 9

To be in the Olympics you have to be 14 legally.

If you want to be in gymnastics you have to be 16.

Answer 10

It depends on what sport you're participating. Since you said Gymnastics, around 14 years and above.=) I'm not sure though. I mean, China's Gymnast's representatives are around 16 years old and above-right? ;-}
