Athletistic / Figure skating. European figure skating champion Alena Kostornaya said she was in favor of raising the age limit. According to the athlete, increasing qualifications will allow more skaters to realize their potential.

“I understand that I want to see the emotions of adults and what I want to see of juniors. And this difference has become acceptable. When all this gets in the way, it’s difficult. It seems to me that even in terms of grades, it’s hard.

Kostornaya spoke with emotion about Adelia Petrosyan

Why do stars disappear quickly? This is precisely the era of quadruple jumps, ultra-so-difficult jumps, on which many people stop. Hunting these items, even if you have learned them, presents a huge risk of injury. You break down and are out for six months or a year. And it is not a fact that this year the 20 juniors who were behind you, who are not afraid to jump, nor to be killed, will not have time to learn everything and jump. And you go out, and that’s it, there is already a queue, ”Kostornaya said on Laysan Utyasheva’s YouTube channel.
