ages varies in events

Answer 6

It's different for each sport. In swimming, there are swimmers as young as 15, there is a 14 year-old diver, but for gymnastics the age limit is 16. The federations in charge of each sport set the age limits, if there are any, for that sport.

Answer 7

If you're representing the world delegation it's minimum age requirement is 16.  If you're playing for China it's 10.  

Answer 8

Most countries, 16... If you're Chinese - 14.

Answer 9

depends its 16 in gymnastics but if you can get your countries backing then you can go in as early as 9. (see chinese gymnasts) there was a 14 year old in diving, so it varies
