They were taken into the sport from such a young age and basically decided by their parents "this child is going to be an Olympian and will give her childhood to that."

It's sad that that's how it has to be for people to get into Olympics, but people peak at such a young age unfortunately. I hated hearing the announcers go, "This [Chinese] girl called her parents three years ago crying and begging them to let her come home, but thank God they didn't, because this is just magical."

That is just sad to me, really. It was a few flips that cost this girl the first twenty years of her life. =/

And "You know the Romanian team used to take everything so seriously and there'd be no laughing and they'd always be huddled around the coach, but now you see them chatting by the chalk board during breaks, it's really rather sad to see."

Uh, no, the Romanian team from the 80's was sad to see...

Not really. The only athlete I've found it amazing to see excel is Lance Armstrong.

I agree. I feel bad for some of those gymnasts having thier whole lives planned out for them and having no say in the matter.

Not all gymnasts are pushed into it, some enjoy it and did it without being pushed by their parents

The gymnastics is amazing though.
I think its worth it, those kids have something no-one else has, and ...you know huge numbers of the worlds children spend their childhoods working. Its not so strange.

I'm jealous of those people. They're Olympic athletes; who wouldn't want to be in the world view?
