Hello!
I was wondering how long a "normal" body can stand gymnastics training on average?
I know a lot of girls who have done gymnastics when they were young. They were probably Level 6 or so and not too competetive, but quit at age 13-16! And when they are in their 20s, they can maybe do a back handspring on the tramp, but that's it.
Of course, if they would work hard they might get it back...but that's not common!
I also know girls who have been really really good and nearly Level 10. But they usually quit at age 19, because their body couldn't stand the training anymore!
So what do you think, what is the average age kids quit the sport, what are the reasons and how many of the "kids-gymnasts" can still do their skills in their late 20s?
