Olympic champion Margarita Mamun said she was in favor of increasing the age limit for gymnasts.
From 2025, the age limit will increase to 17 years and from 2029 to 18 years. This decision applies to both rhythmic gymnastics and artistic gymnastics.
— What do you think of the trend to increase the age limit in gymnastics?
— The Olympic Games are a very serious and psychologically difficult event. It must be approached consciously, at an adult level. Not everyone is ready to deal with this pressure, so it makes sense for older athletes to participate. Many countries are practicing this experiment. For example, Carolina Rodriguez participated in my 2016 Games; she was then around 30 years old,” reports the correspondent, reports Mamun’s words.
Carolina Rodriguez took 8th place at the Brazilian Olympics and quickly announced her retirement.
