    Do Elite Gymnasts have the "Thrill-Seeker" Personality?

    The thread on Fear issues and whether they were contageous got me thinking. We all know that fear is a commonality of gymnastics and many many gymnasts deal with this daily.

    How Long Would It Take Me To Become Elite?

    In 2008, I competed level 4 in spring. Now I'm a level 6/7 and I'm going to compete 7 in spring. I can usually make my back handspring on high beam, I can do a front tuck off of beam for a dismount. I am learning giants on the real bar and a clear hip handstand. I can do a kip cast handstand...

    Parents Why move fast through levels if not going elite?

    I'm looking to get into elite-level competitions as a floor specialist (possibly vault as well, though I currently only have one really good vault, and I haven't done it in six months). The thing is I have no clue how to even get into such competitions, or qualifiers for them, or qualifiers for...
