Question

The official age of the games must vary per sport because the China diver was 15 and no Q's?

Answer 1

I dont think there is really an age limit on divers but she looks younger than 15 and she looks way to d**n thin at 28kg who survives being that tiny

Answer 2

The age requirements are different in each sport.

Answer 3

yes.  there are different age limits for different sports.

there was a 14 year old British diver (he was really cute!)

Answer 4

You can be 15 years old as long as you will turn 16 during the same calendar year as the games.

And yes, the age restriction is for gymnastics only, as far as I know.

Answer 5

Maybe that is the case, OR maybe she's turning 16 within this year.

In figure skating there is also no age limit.

Answer 6

Only three Olympic sports actually have age limits:

Gymnastics - 16

Equestrian - 18

Fencing - 13

Answer 7

You can be 15 years old as long as you will turn 16 during the same calendar year as the games.

And yes, the age restriction is for gymnastics only, as far as I know - Coach McGuirk

this is correct, they simply have to be 16 the calendar year of the olympics

EXAMPLE: lets assume the olympics are on January 1st of a certain year (again, example) if an athlete was turning 16 on December 31 of that same year, they could still compete

Answer 8

American like sour grapes!

Answer 9

The only sport with age restrictions is gymnastics which is 16 in the year of the games.
