Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin commented on the ISU’s decision to gradually raise the age limit from 15 to 17.

“I have never supported the idea of ​​raising the age limit because, in my opinion, it is a stopper, a barrier that is erected for the further development of the sport. It will certainly develop, but that hinders development.

But we will adapt to any changes and do it very quickly, because these changes will not hit the athletes who are currently performing hard, ”said Yagudin, quoted by Championship.
