Broadly, yes. They're 12 year olds being pushed into unsafe diet and exercise plans, often with very high pressure coming from parents and coaches. The Olympic committee was right to raise the minimum competition age over the last few decades, but this shit still happens.

That's true of any sport? I agree that sports should be more fun and less competitive, at least for children, but why single out gymnastics? At least there's no contact like in wrestling or even football.
