No, no, sorry, that wasn't what they said, in fact we got some nice feedback on her, and some things to work on. But it seems that they were mostly testing the in age compulsory skills, whereas she will be doing them a year out of age, so hasn't been working on them as much yet, and doesn't have them all.
I'm just kind of putting it all together in my head and thinking that if a gymnast starts squad training when they turn 6 (for example), if they are born on 1st Jan, they get about 3 1/4 years training before doing compulsory 3. But if they are born on 31 Dec and start when they turn 6, they only get 2 1/4 years training before having to do it (in age). So to get the same amount of training before doing the grade, they can do it a year out of age, so far so good. But then they don't get national finals, regional squads, potentially even national squads, all because they are a year out of age. Even though they have actually taken the grade at the same age (9 1/4 years old, bar one day), as the in age gymnast born on 1st Jan. It just seems to affect gymnastics far more than other sports, maybe partially because they are so young. Feeling responsible that I had her at the wrong time of year!!
