Other interesting and relevant questions that I would like to have seen asked in this survey are when and where they first started playing the sport they are in? Was it even through the school they attended as a kid? Was it something their parents did or encouraged them to do?
So few sports are actually offered by any schools these days. Look at gymnastics, that is all done through private clubs that the young kids go to initially for fun and then if they show aptitude they go further. I am not aware of any school teaching gymnastics aside from a few basic exercise moves. I am out of date with what schools do offer these days but I am sure its the likes of football, cricket and rugby more than most Olympic sports.
