This might sound stupid, but I'm curious. My dd is a level 5, and although she is 10 years old, she is just 50 pounds and about 4 feet tall. Bars is her hardest event, even though she has great core strength, can do many press handstands, chin up champ, etc. so I don't think it is a strength thing. It seems to be more of a timing thing...the kip took her a long time to master. Is it possible to be too light to create the right kind of weight distribution necessary to time many of the moves on bars? Sometimes it seems like the taller/solid girls have an easier time on bars, but maybe I'm wrong. Is there any correlation with weight?
