Another here with a stronger/less flexible gymnast.
I think if you're very flexible early on you may have the static strength, it's the dynamic, fast twitch that is difficult to train.
My concern at the minute is the lack of flexibility is slowing up her basic floor skills (walkovers etc)- so while she's streets ahead on vault and bars, because early on they don't work those apparatus as much she's not getting the chance to progress on her stronger points...
