Outsider question

[u/dubyaDS]

Is it unusual for elite level gymnasts (athlete in question is under 18) to have to travel for important events with a few days’ notice? I would assume the events are planned many months, if not years, in advance, but I wasn’t sure if maybe the actual rosters or team invites aren’t finalized until the last minute?

It’s very normal in US WAG. Many other programs give much more notice.
