That is frustrating. Especially considering how talented your gymnast is. But yes, the media will likely talk more about the Olympic champion as opposed to the other athletes on the team. I will say, the gymnastics media I read and listen to for sure talked about your kid too.
Gyms should have a defined rotation system for who is using which equipment at any given time. It is common though fur gyms to have groups stretch and conditions on the side, so other groups can use the floors
