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.
Probably Nadia Comaneci because she was the first gymnast to ever score a perfect ten!
Her name is Dayane, she's a former gymnast!
The best way to write about the history would be to start with the very first female gymnast who made her way to the Olympics in 1948. Her name was Marian Barone, and she walked away earning one bronze medal.
Her name is Sophie Brundish.
