I can only speak of anecdotal evidence, but from my experience, as well as my cousin and a couple of my other friends, as soon as you stop gymnastics your chest (and the rest of your body) catches up. I went from a 32A to a 34D in the space of a year when I gave it up (age 16).

I actually boggled at Alicia Sacramone's chest when I was watching. I've never seen one that big on a gymnast. I hate to think what it'll be like once she stops competing. O_O

So, ain't most top female gymnasts jailbait?

Teenage gymnasts

But I'm old.

This Norwegian fighter used to be a gymnast:

Fight Finder - Simeon Thoresen's Mixed Martial Arts Statistics

Great balance, great flexibility, great strength.

He wasn't a top one in Norway even though. A top gymnast would own with some training.

When I have kids I want them to train either wrestling or gymnastics for overall body development.

Screw soccer.

If this was OT you would have been barraged with a bunch of "pics or work" comments.

Instead you are just getting a subtle hint via Jayrico's post and my quoting him.

We'll call it a work, somehow I'm thinking my husband might have a fit if I were to post pictures of my chest on the internet.
So here are pictures of Jessica Alba and Megan Fox instead.

yes you are correct, i was speaking in generalities, if the person is a really talentede athlete the body adjusts accordingly.

Correct. Soccer is the reason my ankles are complete crap. Although I'm sure wrestling and gymnastics aren't too kind on the joints either.
