Former Russian figure skater, 2001 world junior champion Kristina Oblasova supported raising the age limit in figure skating.
– Now this is no longer available to anyone. Two years ago, the ISU approved a gradual increase in the age limit for entering adulthood. Starting next season, it will be possible to participate in the Russian Championship only from the age of 16, and at international competitions – from 17.
– Of course, we went too far. But, on the other hand, it is correct. It’s strange when we have women’s figure skating, and little “pissies” come out onto the ice and jump, jump, jump. It is not surprising that jumping is easier for them, because their bodies are not yet formed, like women’s.
Same Slutskaya – well done. I was able to overcome my weight when I recovered and began to win again. She showed women’s figure skating. Butyrskaya also had women’s figure skating. And then girls began to come out and jump over everyone, like Tara Lipinski in her time,” “Championship” quotes Oblasova.
