A great summary. One has to wonder about a sport where being 12 is an advantage that can not be overcome. Perhaps these events should simply be eliminated. They are chlidish.

That isn’t entirely true.
It is a distinct advantage on uneven bars.

However, being older and mature can be an advantage when it comes to vault, tumbling, and showing grace and maturity while dancing.

That is why older girls won the all-around.
