I don't know if people have seen this, but I thought it interesting and hope the youtube channel - the same one that did the height comparisons - does the ladies as well. It could be seen as a needed corrective when we see baby phenoms being hyped as sure and certain World/Olympic medallists.

It's a full list of Junior World Champions since 1976 and how their senior career went, with the stats at the end showing what percentages of these young champions went on to senior golds. 16% of Junior World Champions made World Champion, and only 11% got either GPF (since it started) or Olympics. A surprising number didn't podium at all in international senior level.
