Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Former Russian figure skater, figure skating choreographer Betina Popova has commented on the increased age limit in figure skating.

“It’s a shame for those who come under this innovation, but now we still don’t have an international season. First we have to live until we are allowed to return to the international stage. It seems to me that “Only one generation falls under that age limit. I can’t see there’s no horror in that,” Popova said.

On June 7, the International Skating Union (ISU) congress voted to gradually raise the age limit from 15 to 17. In the 2022/2023 season, 15-year-old athletes will still be allowed to compete in senior competitions, in the 2023/2024 season the minimum age will increase to 16, from the 2024/2025 season , he will be 17 years old.
