Elite gymnast? Possibly?
I'm gonna try to give you the most honest, straightforward answer I can and say that there are millions of girls in the world who do competitive gymnastics, and a lot of them can do what you can do - some of them older, but most of them younger. When I was 12 I was preparing for my level 8 season and was considered to be behind, as far as age goes, by my coaches. So the chances of reaching elite level before your body is worn out are not super high. And remember that of the millions of girls in the US who participate in the sport, only 100 can make elite status. It's a goal that a lot of girls strive for, which is great, but it's not something that everyone can have. That being said, I think your determination is so inspiring and I hope you do keep your goals very high, because you never know what could happen. If you do happen to reach elite level, you'll be older than most of the other girls, but that's okay. If you're good enough, who cares how old you are, right? :) Good luck to you! Keep working hard!
