I can only think of one case where an American girl competed when she was older than 20, and that was Dominique Dawes - she was 22. 30+ year old Russian lady who vaulted for Germany is a freak of nature. Simple fact of the matter - age is going to be against Shawn Johnson if she goes for London, and as far as Nastia Liuken she probably wants to consider moving on with her life.

Can't disagree with that.
