I have noticed that it seems the older you are, the easier it is to win, essentially. I am a Level 7 with one teammate. She is 12 and I'm 14. I usually outscore her, but at a meet a recently she got a 9.1 on bars and I got an 8.8. Then, I got first and she didn't place at all. It occurred to me looking back that the younger age groups do seem to have more fierce competition. Is it just me or is it always like that?
