they just won the team gold medal, however i'd characterize 4 out of 5 as being THICK with a lot of meat on their bones, built like mini soccer players or swimmers

https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/6dfee73/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4000x2667+0+0/resize/2400x1600!/format/webp/quality/75/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F9e%2F13%2F360d4621444793fd50a6b213c7f9%2Fwomensfinalteamleo2.jpg

by contrast, here's the romanian women's gymnastics team that won gold in 2000. they fit the mold for women's gymnastics body types for as long as i remember.

https://wagymnastics.fandom.com/wiki/Category:2000_Romanian_Olympic_Gold_Medal_Team

going far back in time, you'll notice the female gymnasts, whether romanian or russian or chinese or american, to be rail thin and prepubescent looking, delicate and dainty. one might reasonably conclude that this was the optimal body type for gymnastics.

something seems to have changed in the mid 2010's, whereby darker, swarthier, more robust body types have begun to dominate in women gymnastics, where previously this wasn't thought possible

even jade carey is thicker than the usual white girl

here's the 2008 olympic team (all white):

https://usgymchampionships.com/wp-content/uploads/400-3-1.jpg

sure some of them have thick, stubby legs and a rounder posterior but they look functional and carved out of muscle. jade carey's trunk looks like it has an extra 5 pounds of fat cushion that isn't used for anything sports-related.

and just out of curiosity, this was the 2008 chinese team:

uungh nastia. she's got a slav body. shawn johnson has a thickkkkk white girl body in a jade carey way. more are built like johnson than nastia.

of course oriental girls are gonna be skinny, but us white girls have always been on the thicker side.

The current model is athletically ideal, but wasn’t practical to achieve until relatively recently. It is difficult to get a naturally petite (since they need to be like 4’8”) 14-y/o girl to pack muscle onto her frame — it’s only possible at all for certain races (a chink literally can’t) and takes dedication even for those for whom it’s biologically possible (and sacrifice, since it isn’t aesthetically ideal).

the median age of the current team is 23. plenty of short (5'0) girls who have muscle around that age

the drift in body type happened alongside a drift in age. so the difficulty of getting muscle on a young girl is not the reason since they're not young anymore

They don't just show up at the Olympics a year after starting gymnastics; these girls have been performing at an elite level (with top-tier coaches, etc.) for 10-12 years at this point. Likewise, while an adolescent with nothing else to do all day but eat and train can pack on muscle more quickly than you or I can, that process also still takes years.

In other words, my point treats the rise in age and musculature as closely associated, whereas you seem to be suggesting they're... coincidental?

to do the craziest jumps and flips, they need a big muscular ass. as a result, pole vaulters have physiques that are more xo approved

your romanian link is dead but the answer is that gymnastics, like all sports, has been "solved" and in that process has become less interesting

this is not unique. If you looked at an NCAAF roster from 2000 and 2024 you'd be surprised at how much bigger and fitter they are today, even in what seems like a relatively short time period (it's actually a long time and you are old :))

obviously yes? I don't pretend to understand anything about gymnastics or gymnastics scoring but thick thighed muscly girls can clearly propel themselves higher & faster than graceful ponytail'd twinks.

nobody prefers the aesthetics of Steph Curry's nothing but 3s model of the NBA either, but the math shows that it works

Most obvious example (which is so close to the OP's case it seems silly to 'analogize') is the Williams sisters.

Is the silverback physique better for playing tennis than the maria sharpova physique? Of fucking course it is. Are there downsides for every other part of your life? Obviously, and multiple WTA players have said that they refrain from going to far in that direction for purely aesthetic reasons b/c they want to look like women. And bear in mind the WTA pays a far greater number of women far more, for far longer, than gymnastics (which basically gives olympians only a window of NIL opportunities in their teens and early 20s).
