As a matter of fact, 18- and 19-year-old gymnasts are usually considered “old” and nearing the end of their competitive years. Critics of the sport correctly point out that its emphasis on pre-teen athletes is harmful to the girls who participate. To begin with, gymnastics can be physically damaging to young athletes’ bodies. For example, intense regular physical activity during the child­hood years can lead to weakening of the bones. A 1996 New England Journal of Medicine article warned that female gymnasts are prone to an “accumulation of minor physical insults that can result in permanent injury or deformity. These injuries include stress fractures; growth-plate fractures; wrist and elbow injuries; [and] spinal injuries such as scoliosis.” Girls in gymnastics are also prone to dangerous eating disorders because the sport demands a thin physique. In 1992, the average gymnast was just 4 feet 9 inches tall and weighed 83 pounds. Then, too, competitive gymnastics can be emotionally and mentally damaging. The sport pushes very young girls beyond their maturity level and many cannot effectively cope with the extreme pressures of high-stress training and competitions. The stress these little girls endure as they try to live up to expectations of their coaches, their parents, and themselves can be overwhelming. The New England Journal of Medicine said that “at its worst, the sport can result in serious, life-endangering . . . emotional disabilities.”
