The logic of the sentence contrasts the gymnast’s earlier state (adept and agile) with his present state (aging) and capable of only describing rather than demonstrating. One who can no longer demonstrate is not as physically able as he once was.

Two states: young and old
Key words in the old state were aging with all the effects that happen to gymnasts, e.g. having lack of mobility vs agile during young state
Similarly stunt vs adept
