Well, that's a bad example. It would be more like, if there were medals for free throw competition, or 1v1 pickup. The U.S. only got one medal in the team competition.

Hardly. A bit, sure, but the average gymnast has gone down from 1m61 to 1m49 in that time, and got 5 kilos lighter. Despite raising the minimum age, the average age has also come down. Smaller -> shorter radius to turn - weight closer to center of gravity - faster rotations possible - more loop-de-loops.
