In recent years, age restrictions for male and female gymnastics competitors have undergone significant changes, accompanied by numerous debates. Currently, male gymnasts competing in artistic gymnastics at the Olympic Games must be eighteen years old, while female competitors must be sixteen years old. At the World Championships, gymnasts of both genders must be older than sixteen years. Age restrictions were modified in 1981, then again in 1987, with the most recent changes occurring in 1997. The main reasons cited for raising the age limit include the protection of young athletes whose bodies are still developing, mental health considerations, and the standardization of sports rules, which primarily affects female competitors, as male gymnasts tend to achieve their best results in their twenties. The aim of this research study was to determine whether the chronological age of gymnasts at the World Championships has been increasing or decreasing between 2007 and 2022, and to identify the ages at which gymnasts achieve the most success. The average age of all finalists in each discipline (floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar) was determined for each year during the specified period. Based on the birth dates of each finalist, their age at the time of the final was calculated and expressed in years and months. The results of this research study showed a trend of increasing age among gymnasts in all disciplines, except for floor exercise, where gymnasts are the youngest. The oldest gymnasts are found in the rings and pommel horse disciplines, and gymnasts tend to achieve their best results in their early twenties.
