The FIG imposes a minimum age limit on gymnasts competing in international meets. The term "senior", in gymnastics, refers to any world-class or elite gymnast who is age-eligible under FIG rules. The term "junior" refers to any gymnast who competes at a world-class or elite level, but is too young to be classified as a senior. Currently, female gymnasts must be at least sixteen years of age, or turning sixteen within the calendar year, the male 18, to be classified as a senior. Juniors are judged under the same "Code of Points" as the seniors, but with further restrictions, and often exhibit the same level of difficulty in their routines.
