How tall are you?

[Vivianflips]

I'm 5'5" pretty tall for a gymnast so I'm always curious how tall other gymnasts are! I'm a tall gymnast but I'm super short for my family, most of my family is either close to 6' or above And I'm likely done growing as I'm approaching 15.

5'1, and parents are 5'7 and 5'11. However all of my aunts are very short, and being a preemie baby my growth had been stunted. I stopped growing at age fourteen which we realized when I had a shoulder X-ray for a dislocation, and found closed growth plates! I have even been the same shoe size since fifth grade.

5"81/2 I'm done growing have been for a few years

Glad to hear I'm not the tallest gymnast out there! People tend to stare when I walk into the gym sometimes

I've also had the same shoe size since fifth grade! I enjoy that a lot as I can buy more expensive shoes that I won't grow out of!

The rule at my house is you don't get expensive shoes till your feet stop frowning

I'm around 5' 2". I'm super tall at gymnastics and hate it. I still have growing as I'm only 14.

 

[Gymnast_Tor]

5'4 and stopped growing!

I am 5'7 1/2 and 14 years old I didn't start gymnastics until I was 12 so my hight was never stunted.

5' 3" - though I stopped growing at 10 at just below 5' 1" and then had a very late growth spurt after years of 30+ hours a week of dance and really learning and being used to my balance, so I'm still trying to get a grip on my balance again!

My dad had one of those growth spurts in college and grew 3 inches! I'm just hoping that I don't end up having a sudden growth spurt in college!

I spent my whole dance training wishing to be taller, because I was never tall enough for auditions (always asking for 5' 4 as a minimum and I just wasn't quite tall enough to fake it) but then I started gymnastics just as my body went OH I KNOW LET'S GROW and now I'm tall enough for auditions but also a much taller gymnast. How is that fair?

 

[Vivianflips]

Oh no! But at least you got into gymnastics so that's a plus right?

 

[GymSurvivor]

I'm 5'3" and was the tallest on my team (all levels) for a while!!

That's crazy!

 

[stxrdusty]

5'3" and I've been this same size for probably 4 years now. I really hope I don't grow ever again. I'm 19 at the moment.
