^^^ Darn good advice. That "parrot" knows her stuff. And this is one case where the equipment you have is just not going to be enough to do what you want it to do. The only way around it, if upgrading equipment or getting more light are not options, is to time your shot so that your daughter is in a stationary moment, and then the shutter speed you can use to get a decent exposure (say, 1/15 or 1/30 sec) will allow you to capture more-or-less blur-free images. But your hand-holding technique needs to be really good, and so does your timing.
Another idea to explore, however, is to deliberately use a slow shutter speed (with the camera on a tripod), to allow the gymnast motion to show. You won't get a clear face, under the circumstances, but you can capture some pretty interesting motion blurs. An example of such an image is here : A blur of motion on the uneven bars. | TIM CLAYTON PHOTOGRAPHY. In that case, the photographer was hand-holding the camera and was following the motion.
Edit: Amolitor types faster than me... but we both were going in the same direction .
