We have had some threads in the forum discussing the differences in USAG J.O. Level 10 gymnastics and Elite Gymnastics. I thought it would be good to start a thread where we can compare the two with video examples. If there is a story behind your videos...please share. I'll start with a random example:

Remember this is just two random videos from Youtube. One is L10 uneven bars and one is elite uneven bars.
 
I think a lot of people don't realize it does not go level 10 then elite. It is hard to understand as all the others levels go in a row and generally are not huge steps up from one another. But going from 10 to elite is like going from level 2 to 9 IMO anyways. Granted there are better trained 10's that are prepping for elite. The bars video was a good example of a mid range level 10 and a super elite ;)
 
That was a huge difference between those two videos. And wow Kexin He has the most straight body I have ever seen.
 
Bars is also the event that has the largest gap between Level 10 and elite. The other events not as much. I actually prefer sometimes to see a great Level 10 floor routine vs an elite routine with a million tumbling passes. Give me a Level 10 floor routine with 3 difficult elite level passes or an NCAA routine over an elite routine any day.
