Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Alexei Zheleznyakov, choreographer of the Eteri Tutberidze group, shared his opinion on raising the age limit in figure skating.

“The domination of the ‘Eterian women’ already infuriates everyone. The others, after all, also want to win gold. But if they think that with the increase in qualification, the girls will not be able to jump ultra- if, then they are wrong. 20 years ago. However, if they think that they can break Tutberidze’s team with an age limit, then it’s stupid. Dirty methods, like in the Olympics , can not be won, “said the choreographer.

The International Skating Union at the next meeting, to be held in June, plans to adopt a gradual increase in the age limit to 17.
