In about two months, a whole mess of international elites – including dozens and dozens of our favorites – are going to graduate from the junior to senior ranks. I’m sure we can all recall the debuts of some of these kids, especially those who burst onto the scene with insane talent and potential, and now here they are, all grown up and age-eligible for senior international competition?!
Below are about 200Â gymnasts all born in the year 2001, listed in alphabetical order by country. Did we leave anyone behind? Let us know in the comments! Who are you most excited to see?

What! Abi Walker will be a new senior?! I always forget she’s a 2001 baby and just assume she’s a 2018 or 2019 senior. But I can’t wait to see her! Ah, it’s already going to be too crowded for the 2017 Worlds!
I’m so excited for Louise McColgan!!

These are all gymnasts we have in our database having competed in the past three years, so we just assume they’re all still competing unless we know otherwise.
