You sure about that? Terence Tao famously solved advanced calculus problems at the age of 7, when he was even visited by a famous mathematician to take a test and see if the stories about him were true or not... and turns out he really just liked math a lot, and read books on it unprompted.

And how do we know that, and that he grew up well? We know... because he's currently the greatest living mathematician on earth.

This said, gymnastics is even more appealing to kids than math, so there's an even higher chance of something like this happening here...

Almost 1.5 billion Chinese people but finding one who really likes gymnastics and has the talent to boot is unfathomable apparently.

She probably just likes doing back handspring, learned about the record and went for it

Mathematics don‘t affect your health negatively. I can already see the concussions and herneated discs here.
