    Body type for future or current Elite Gymnastics

    Hi, I just wondering about everyone's thoughts in regards to body type (shorth and muscular or tall and lean) and elite gymnastics. Do you think one does better than the other? What about injuries? What do you think about future elites? Can coaches tell and at about what age? Thanks!

    Level 10/Elite Compulsories.

    Does anyone remember if the Level 10 and Elite compulsories were the same in or around the cycle that ended in 1996? I was a Level 9 at that time and was just curious. If they were different what skills were in the Level 10 Bars routine and what was the compulsory vault for Level 10? Thanks...

    Do you think there's an "elite personality'?

    Do you think that elite gymnasts have a certain personality type that you can see from a young age? It seems like they are different from other kids. I know my DD is way more focused and serious than other kids, and she doesn't mind spending her hours in the gym and then doing extra TOPS...

    Fast-tracking to Elite - Pitfalls or red flags to look for?

    I love the decision that was made...I believe that the 10 tiered system is abused by gym owners and many use it to hold back athletes who have aspirations much higher than the gyms are willing to let them go. We hold back our gymnasts who are ready for higher levels using a boring and tedious...
