Becoming an elite gymnast is usually the result of being a competitive gymnast for several years. It takes a lot of practice. As an elite gymnast, you are the best. You sacrifice all other things in your life for practicing gymnastics. It is not something you can just wake up and say, "I want to be an elite gymnast". You first have to be a gymnast, then a competitive gymnast, then an elite. Usually the elite gymnasts do not choose to be an elite gymnast, but the coaches choose them to be an elite.
12?
Yes, she is an elite gymnast.
Technically speaking, an elite gymnast should be able to do any skill in the code book. It is a matter of having the technique and understanding what the skill is. The only things obstructing a gymnast are the mental willpower (or lack of), flexibility, and strength. However, it is VERY unlikely that one is able to become an elite gymnast if one lacks physical strength or flexibility.

Gymnastics is a VERY tuff sport, seeing as i am an elite gymnast, i can tell you, if you stick your landings, and stick to gymnastics, you will soon tell that with some spot, and some pride, you will be just like me, an elite gymnast !

not at all!! Although im 12, the gym i go to(island extreme) has elite tumblers (gymnasts) that are up to 20 years old! but to be an elite tumbler you have to have a back tuck. just having a back hand spring doesnt mean you can elite tumble. I myself just learned a back tuck running and standing and they wont let me in the class.......... hope i helped yahh:)
