14yr-old diver to compete at Olympics

Gymnasts Rebecca Bross and Canada’s Peng Peng Lee are too young to compete in the Beijing Olympics.

But Tom Daley, even younger, will be there.

… Daley will be 14 years and 81 days when the Beijing Olympic games begin in August. …

Tom Daley not the youngest British Olympic athlete

It doesn’t seem fair, does it?

Figure skating has concerns too. Some of the top American skaters are not eligible due to age:

… Mirai Nagasu, 14, of Arcadia, and Rachael Flatt, 15, of Del Mar. They, along with fourth-place Caroline Zhang, 14, of Brea, cannot advance to the senior worlds because of the age limit. …

Age-limit rule doesn’t add up for U.S. skating

In a perfect world we would have no age restrictions. But, if we do have one, I wish it was consistent for all Olympic sports.
