    @Li La I think it's because gymnasts make it look so easy especially bc they learn at a young age, but still it takes daily practice and honing. Lol one post even said the skills come naturally. 😂 That dumbass prolly hasn't done anyhing close to a backflip.

    I think when people think of sports traditionally, they either think of team sports (basketball, soccer, baseball, etc) or sports where scoring is dependent on a points-based system (tennis, golf, etc). Or perhaps, like with track or swimming, who gets somewhere faster. With sports like gymnastics, diving, or figure skating, people may have a hard time associating it with sport because it’s about executing a skill to the highest possible degree to as much as your routine would allow. I remember watching figure skating with my dad and he was so confused as to what was being graded or what made a routine “better,” while with something like a race or archery, it’s a lot more intuitive.

Tallest gymnast acc. to her is 5"8 😅 And i think her overall definition of young and long career are a tiny bit different.

    Because people aren't aware of why gymnastics or artistic-sports are sports. Gymnastics is a sport because it has a code of points, standardised scoring system and composition requirements (which are objective elements to be showcased in each exercise). But the problem is that far too few gymnasts, fans of the sport and seemingly even coaches are aware of the above, when questioned they all have different answers and the majority of them are incorrect. Meaning that if even those involved can't explain why gymnastics is a sport, of course those who aren't who think of it as being. Sports are sports because of their formats, and the format above is the format of all artistic-sports.

    I'd like to add to your response about starting gymnastics later in life. First I want to make it extremely clear that I have never been an olympic or even elite gymnast, but I was quite an accomplished gymnast specializing in floor exercise for 20 years after STARTING gymnastics when I turned 21. Yes, I did gymnastics until I was 41! And I'm talking about powerful tumbling, not the wimpy "careful" tumbling one might picture of an "older" person. I did gymnastics entirely for the fun and fitness that it provided me...and it was INCREDIBLY fun! Now, at 65 I still dabble in gymnastics occasionally, but only on the more forgiving tumbling trampolines. So, anyone can start gymnastics at virtually any age for fun and fitness, but to make it into the elite or olympic categories, I would agree that one should start very young.

    It comes down to your definition of "sport." If a sport is a competition that requires athleticism, then a dance competition would fit that definition. Some people define a sport as having two or more opposing sides competing in a physical activity trying to gain or lose (golf) the most points to win. Is the 100 meter dash a sport? Or is it a race? Different interpretations of the language would give you different answers.

She was in such a bubble when she said, any body type can do it but then immediately said rare to see someone over 5'4" and that if you again 3 pounds it's hard to do bars. And when she made it sound like body image and pressure for a gymnast is just like for anyone else. I love how she talks about therapy here. I'm so glad she had a supportive family and coaches. I feel she was already very mature and thoughtful and sincere at this young age. In light of modern day, in addition she has grown up a lot and become more aware of life and herself and the world.

    @Jagar Tharn the fact that she quitted to take care of her mental health just proves what Madison said. She wants to be the best she can be, and she knows she has to take care of everything, her physical and mental health, to be at her best. Plus, it was a team competition, if she wasn't in a good shape it affected the whole team, and they could've got worst scores, so she wasn't selfish at all when she decided to quit that competition, it was the opposite!
