First of all, the coaches choose short girls purposely. They look at the girls' parents. If they are too tall, then the coach would not encourage their girls to be gymnasts. So the shortness is not the result of being gymnast, but the cause for being gymnast. This is the primary reason.<br>
<br>
That being said, there are some evidence that because of the diet control in gymnastics to control weight, some girls might be malnutritioned and therefore have a delayed or suppressed growth. (This is very common in China. Look at those poor girls!) But this is not the direct result of being in gymnastics. This is the result of diet control. <br>

Agreed. But most gymnastics players are pretty short, would it be a concern for the kids?

Not surprised. Gymnastics and dance share a lot of common elements while each has its own emphasis. Actually gymnastics probably "steals" a lot of beautiful moves from dance.<br>

No offense, but some of pictures look a lot more like gymnastics.
