Can you still be in the Olympics at 16 and start figure skating at 11?

Technically, yes, but it would be quite complex and difficult. In order to compete at the Olympics, you must have passed all of your field move and free style tests as sanctioned by U.S. Figure Skating through the senior level. The senior level is the highest of eight levels. At each level, you must successfully pass the field moves test before taking the freestyle test. For most skaters, it takes about six months to learn and perfect the elements for each level, but as you go up the levels this can take longer. Also, the maturity of skating and quality needed to compete at a high level nationally and internationally take many years to develop. So, I would say that while this is a possible reality, I would suggest setting a more realistic goal that will allow you to enjoy skating and being the best you can be.

the start of a routine is the setter for the rest so you have to make it interesting and graceful so that your audience wont loose interest and the judges wont mark you down. But f the start goes wrong them there's still time to redeem yourself.
