Elite female gymnasts typically peak between 16 & 19 years old. Think Auburn’s Suni Lee. She won an Olympic gold medal as a high schooler.

Elite Olympic gymnasts train over 30 hours a week, which is far more than collegiate gymnasts who can only train 20 hours a week.

Olympic gymnastics is considerably more difficult. The routines require far more difficulty than collegiate routines which put more premium on easier more precise routines.

Kids in gymnastics during middle and high school train more than that.

The routines seem much longer in olympic competition as well. The beam routines for example at a college meet are very short with only 2 difficult maneuvers on average.
