And above all, in most other sports, bigger and older correlate directly to “better” – as they do in men’s gymnastics, for example.
Not so in women’s gymnastics.
There's a solution. Just have the women do the same events, judged the same way, as the men do.
Any sport where it is common to be the world's best at age 14 doesn't deserve to be in the Olympics. There is no justification for how someone who is not even a fully grown adult can be the master of a sport, unless it is actually a sport that just checks whether you have gone through puberty or not.
