Olympic silver medal in speed skating Daniel Aldochkin told that the age limit introduced by the International Skating Union (ISU) changes little for the sport.
The ISU has introduced a gradual change in the age limit for participation in competitions. It applies to all sports under the auspices of the ISU – figure skating, speed skating and short track. Aldoshkin himself became the winner of the 2022 Games at the age of 20.
– For us, this age limit does not change much, because if we take people who achieved significant success at the age of 18, then Sven Kramer comes to mind among the closest examples. So we have such a person born once in a hundred years,” Aldoshkin told . – Few people can claim World Championship medals even at 18 years old. The Norwegian Peder Kongshaug is a few months younger than me, last year he raced the World Championship – there were no junior starts – he showed himself well. This year he became Olympic champion [в составе командной гонки].
