Let's not forget to factor in genetics and nutrition. The Chinese are a small people with poor nutrition. I remember watching an NBC profile of Lu Chen when she was World Champion. She lived in an apartment the size of my bathroom and ate meals that were mostly rice and very little protein.
As for Svetlana, I think there's a problem there. She's just too skinny.
I don't think I could have my daughter doing gymnastics. Their growth is just way too stunted. Do they grow after they quit gymnastics or will Carly Patterson always stay that small? A profile I saw on the CBC said the average is under 4'10" and 85 pounds.
