Dunno, I know schlurp on here would know, he's like in the olympics for discus. Tom Daley is in the olympics for diving and he's 14 I think.

Age limits are not dictated by the Olympics Committee but rather by the governing body of the sport you are interested in entering. For example I know gymnastics is 16 and diving is 14.
