I'm stupid. I don't get what this is about. What is BSOD?
Is younger age really an advantage in gymnastics?
If you are say, 13/14, vs. 16/17, I would guess the 13/14 year old would actually be at a disadvantage, because they have 3-4 years less of training and experience, and they are not as fully developed, and thus not as strong as their older counterparts. Many of those moves require much strength and skill, meaning the older person would have the advantage?
Another perspective, it's even more embarrasing the US team lost to much younger, less experienced competitor. I wouldn't be screaming about the other team has under age athletes, but rather look at what we're not doing and learn from the better team.
I have a simple proposition: Make the minimum age requirement 18.
This will deter cheating. Under 18 is virtual (and real) child abuse.
Better idea: get rid of the age requirement altogether.I have a simple proposition: Make the minimum age requirement 18.

If there had been the age requirement in 1976, the world would have been denied Nadia Comaneci. She was 14 in Montreal.
It wasn't needed then; it's not needed now.
