What are the Commonwealth Youth Games, you ask?
… a small-scale version of the Commonwealth Games, … (for) the youth of the 71 Commonwealth countries …
The 4th CYG will be hosted by Isle of Man, a self-governing British Crown Dependency.
Artistic – Team (3 to count), Individual All-Around & Individual Apparatus.
FIG regulations for Junior competition:
Men: 14 – 18 years of age (athletes born in 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 & 1997)
Women: 13 – 15 years of age (athletes born in 1996, 1997 & 1998)
Different age minimum for boys and girls?
High profile international meet for the (supposedly) vulnerable youth younger than age-16?
Some must feel this is too much, too soon. But not me.
Charlotte Sullivan, Rebecca Morrison and Brittany Robertson have been selected to represent New Zealand.
I’m happy and excited for you. Good luck at the Isle of Man.
