The ideal gymnast would be between 4 feet 7 and 5-2. I wouldn't be able to pinpoint an ideal height, however. It would be foolish to say that a gymnast above 5-2 could not be great.
stress gymnastics littles
In gymnastics, smaller will always be better in many ways. The stress in the head, that will be the same for all. But the stress on the body and the concussions it must endure, that will always be easier for the little ones.

love medal olympics
I would love very much to win a medal at the Olympics for myself, by my own performance. But that will never happen.

What is a better way to prove that your methods work than by winning? I have proved that my methods work.
