Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Russian coach Katarina Gerboldt has explained why she views the ISU’s decision to tighten the age limit as a positive decision.
“Listen, we have so many good athletes who have won even at older ages. So we are already strong! In the juniors, of course, we are completely invincible. But I am saddened by the fact that the athletes spend so much time and energy literally for one or two seasons.
In a good way, you have to skate the full Olympic cycle. It’s even better when you have two or three. And the new age limit is lucky for those who will reach their peak at the age of 17-18. They will be fully trained and able to show their high level for longer. Like our Ira Slutskaya,” Sport-Express quote Gerboldt.
