There really is no knowing what could happen between now and 2012. Since Anna Pavolva is at least 16, in four years she’ll be at least 20, and by gymnastic standards, that is ancient.
She could get injured, lose interest in the sport, etc. And even if she didn’t, if she has already passed her peak by then Russia would not have her on their team.
On the other hand, there are some gymnasts who go to the olympics at 20. Its possible that Pavlova has not peaked yet, no matter how amazing she already is right now.
So anything could happen (:
So you’ll have to wait until 2012 for the real answer.

I believe I read something about here that was roughly translated from Russian and the jist of it was to stick with gymnastics for another year and see what happens after that.
She will be 21 soon, so she will be 24, nearly 25 in London so it seems unlikely even though I REALLY hope she does because she is HOT!. As far as her peaking, she won two medals in Athens and O in Beijing, it is possible she reached her peak at her first Olympics.
